EU Delays PDPD

[Damon Whyte]

Greetings all,

Anyone know where I can obtain a more report on this remarkable
development?

EU DELAYS PRIVACY LAW

       The European Union today agreed to delay enforcing its new
       privacy directive which prohibits European companies from
       exchanging information about customers or employees with
       companies in countries that do not adequately protect the privacy

       of the data. The new directive, which came into force at the
       weekend, has upset the US, which prefers voluntary rather than
       government regulations to protect privacy. More negotiations are
       to be held.

Cheers,

Damon.
