[ILUG] [OT] Commission seeks views on privacy legislation

[Brian O'Donoghue]

I hate to bang the rebel drum.... but I wish the European Commission had
nothing to do with this sort of thing... I mean I know it's all nice and
squeaking clean and we're all friends in Europe, but I still wish the
European Union a body I have never voted for had 'no power' to issue
directives that may be legally binding in a country where I do vote.

Sorry for the OT post but it's important and I think everyone here will be 
interested in it.

 From this page:
" Should bosses be able to read the e-mails employees send and receive at 
work?
Are customers who want to buy on-line confident that the personal data they 
give will not be used in ways they have not agreed to?
Are businesses over-burdened by enquiries from people wanting access to the 
personal details companies hold about them?

The European Commission would like to give you the opportunity to
participate 
in this open exchange of views about the implementation of the Data 
Protection Directive (95/46/EC)."
