EU-USA: DATA SURVEILLANCE: EU Commissioner Reding's letter to the US Attorney-General

10 June 2013

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

Poses seven questions and opens with:

"I have serious concerns about recent media reports that United States authorities are accessing and processing, on a large scale, the data of European Union citizens using major US online service providers. Programmes such as PRISM and the laws on the basis of which such programmes are authorised could have grave adverse consequences for the fundamental rights of EU citizens."
