The European Commission has just put out the first report on the operation of the 1995 EC Directive on data protection at national level (15.5.2003) (COM(2003) 265 final) "First report on the implementation of the Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC)": Report (pdf). The discrepancies are however more evident in the Technical analysis (pdf). Particularly
illuminating is the submission by the US government which calls on the EU to: "refrain from imposing compliance

from concentrating their enforcement efforts exclusively on large multinational corporations": Text of US letter
