"Too delicate" sounds very much like a lame excuse. It is known that since 2007, the German BND uses XKEYSCORE. The BND president confirmed this. [1] I remember also reading that the German BND only got the software if they agreed to forward all results to the NSA. My assumption is that since then, there simply was no need to copy all the data any more, so they stopped.
