Somebody asked us for our permission to keep this data?

If answer is no, so give me please at least one reason that this petition will be NOT ignored.

It will be ignored. They aint gunna expect this ruling to be in any way popular, they will not be suprised by the petition, they just feel the need to do this despite popular opinion saying no.
If they feel its that important us small guys aint gunna stop 'em i'm afraid to say.

I do not in any way force you to write this petition, you don't have to unless you want to.
You as well as EwarWoo are both right, petitions rarely lead to dismissing a new proposal. It's more of just trying to get your oppinion heard.

A draft (PDF) of the proposal.

Anyway, i don't think that citizens can do anything against this kind of things. Yes, our voice and our votes could count, but there are some (real) precedents of electronic surveillance and data retention without our consent.

Peep,i'm IN!
But, as i write before, its doesn't a matter of how many people have signed this petition.
