EU concern at US data transfers
Euro MPs have expressed concern at the way the US is gathering information from EU citizens that may be used in identifying terrorism suspects. The EU justice commissioner told MEPs that banks in several EU countries were unaware details of transactions were going to the US treasury.
Franco Frattini also said negotiations over a new EU-US deal on air passenger data would be "a real challenge"."The right to privacy for me is non-negotiable. It has to be respected," Mr Frattini said.An interim deal allowing the US to access information on trans-Atlantic air passengers expires in July. The EU has until February to decide a strategy and timeline for the negotiations.
