The EU and the United States both began to
rethink its privacy framework at exactly the
same time in May 2009.
Since then I've been gratified to see, A)
the very high level of dialogue, and also
there's basic convergence on the key points;
consumers need to have control over their
personal information, and government needs
to enforce that expectation on consumer's
parts, there are lots of areas of convergence
and there are lots of issues that we're still
both struggling with and part of the reason
why I'm in Brussels is to talk to my EU counterparts,
to see if we can collectively make some progress
on some of the tougher issues.
