Europeans could get data protection rights in U.S.
Un projet de loi bipartisan au Sénat américain permettrait aux Européens de poursuivre les agences US en cas d'usage abusif de leurs données personnelles.
Europeans would be able to take legal action against U.S. agencies that misuse their private data, under legislation introduced Wednesday in the U.S. Senate. Europe currently gives data protection rights to U.S. citizens whose data is held by EU agencies, but the U.S. does not return the favor. The bipartisan bill introduced this week would extend to Europeans certain rights that Americans have under the Privacy Act of 1974. Some MEPs see these rights as crucial to rebuilding trust after the Edward Snowden revelations. The legislation, if passed, could also pave the way for future data-sharing agreements between the U.S. and Europe. http://www.politico.eu/article/europeans-data-protection-rights-snowden-senate/ http://free-group.eu/2015/06/03/the-us-legal-system-on-data-protection-in-the-field-of-law-enforcement-safeguards-rights-and-remedies-for-eu-citizens/
