European Commission Adopts Draft Mandate for EU-US Data Protection Agreement

Viviane Reding EC Following months of negotiations (see our coverage from earlier this month here), the European Commission has finally published a draft mandate to negotiate a personal data protection agreement between the European Union and the United States when cooperating to fight terrorism or crime.
