EU-USA AGREEMENT: Article 29 Working Party on data protection: Data protection authorities call for strict general privacy agreement with United States (Press release, pdf) and Opinion: EU-US General Agreement (pdf):

"the Working Party is however concerned about the possible outcome of the negotiations. It therefore urges the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament to ensure a strict and far reaching negotiating mandate, to obtain a high level of data protection. Coherence is needed in light of current developments, including the review of the EU data protection legal framework and the proposed negotiations with the US on a new PNR agreement."
