This page can be used to plan the session [[1]].

One "avenue" for Europeans to counter U.S. surveillance scandals is the negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). However linking international trade policy with data protection has its risks, as exemplified by this Deutsche Welle story In the U.S. there has been a call for keeping data protection issues outside this trade agreement; this call was issued by the NGO Center for Digital Democracy

The European Commission has to wait until 1st October for permission from the Council to give us further information. [2]

Here is a new human rights proposal from the recent Warsaw meeting of privacy commissioners.

The Transatlantic Consumer Dialog [TACD] is also working on the TTIP in general, and will hold a meeting in Brussels on 29th October.

There is a new paper on data protection and the TTIP, which will be presented briefly, to which this is the bibliography

These are the notes of the session, which set out to list the avenues available to Europeans to combat the vast new set of surveillance practices revealed by Edward Snowden (transcript thanks to Nicolas Pettiaux):

1) Go through the existing data protection system

2a) Impose criminal sanctions, as proposed by AKVorrat 2b) Suspend the Terrorist Finance and Tracking Program TFTP which led to exposure of Europeans' financial data at SWIFT and the Safe Harbor decision

3) TransAtlantic Trade and Investment Partnership TTIP / NAFTA

WTO - GATS: investor / state disputes

MAI (Multilateral Agreement on Investment)

Non tariff barriers

4) Mobilize lawyers / doctors, who are legally obliged to maintain client confidentiality such as [3]

5) Treaties such as INTCFN

6) Industrial espionage

7) Partners with European competitors to US firms (eg Cloud)

  • unveil hypocrisy of our government with respect to Snowden / a citizen right being

9) Human rights watch
