Knowing Reding this is much more of a populist statement than a real promise, never forget that she is member of the European People Party which is more of a surveillance party than a party respecting your rights. Furthermore is she member of the luxembourgish CSV whose "ministre de l'intérieur" installed cameras and who when asked if he did the evaluation requested by the law denied and said: "Because security is a fundamental right, we do not need to justify it!"<div>
<br></div><div>So what do you really expect from her?</div><div><br></div><div>Still we have to welcome her approaches to regulate the telco market in Europe where she was responsible for major reductions in roaming costs!</div>

</div>Given the EU record on the handling of personal data on boarding planes to the USA, there must be some kind of joke.<br>

(Data is to be handled free to the US authorities with little to no provision. Once in the ether, always in the ether…)<br>
