The 'billion euros' are in the document that's in the post. You can just add the sums mentioned.

The post isn't mainly about the trojan but about what else the government admits doing. Yes, it's no secret that Skype, Facebook, Gmail are monitored, but who knew for sure and how much money is spent on that? If you take it for granted that surveillance can happen everywhere all the time: no news. If you're interested in the details: I'd say that wasn't public before.
