Phrases like the following ought to bring out some emotions in the  European
population:

*"Under the new deal, the United States agreed to allow the presence of an
EU official in Washington who will have the status of a US Treasury official
and be able to monitor the use of banking data of EU citizens by USauthorities.
*

*EU citizens will also be given the same rights as Americans to contest the
use of their data before US courts under the US Privacy Act."*
