Success means passing legislation affirming digital rights in a way that makes such surveillance legislation illegal.
This wasn't a win, it was a small setback.
That's the current status quo. New legislation can always override old legislation. The only way to fully prevent these proposals would be to enshrine the right to encryption in a new EU treaty (which requires unanimity) and since the national governments are the ones pushing for this while the European Parliament keeps telling to fuck off, it's not going to happen.
It's success. Not huge success, but success. It maintains a mediocre status quo in the face of the possibility of it worsening.
