If the changes to European Data Protection principles proceed in the manner suggested in that report , the governments of the EU member states would have overturned the principle of keeping their citizens’ private data private so that they could send it abroad to ‘third parties’ (read: the US) without being checked by the Parliament or, crucially, the European Court of Justice. <\/p>\n
