EU-Datenschutz: USA lenken ein-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- updating 98.10.21/1 EU-Datenschutz: USA lenken ein Die sieben Regeln für US-Firmen im Umgang mit dem neuen EU-weiten Datenschutzgesetz sind eingestandenermassen nur ein Anfang, aber sie deuten draufhin, dass die US- Administration von ihrem Beharren auf der totalen Selbstkontrolle durch die Industrie abgehen will. "Das letzte was wir für den E-Commerce brauchen können, ist eine Unterbrechung des transatlantischen Datenaustauschs sprach William Daley, Handelsminister der USA. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- November 10, 1998 The Clinton administration has released a proposed voluntary approach for U.S. companies to meet the requirements of European privacy laws. The lack of comprehensive privacy laws in the United States has raised the specter of a major trade dispute with the European Union over Europe's privacy directive, which took effect last month. ... In the U.S. proposal, the administration would consider companies that abide by seven privacy principles to be meeting the European requirements. A Commerce Department official said the seven principles reflect the administration's previous discussions with U.S. companies, but had not been approved by European officials. ''We're really in the infancy stage,'' the official said. Under the EU directive, European companies may be prohibited from exchanging data with companies in other countries that do not provide adequate protection of data privacy. .... Under the administration's proposal, consumers must be told what information a company collects and how it is used. The consumer should be allowed to prevent data from being collected or distributed and would have an opportunity to correct inaccurate information. .... U.S. privacy advocate Marc Rotenberg said the public release of the seven principles might be an indication that the administration is ready to move away from the voluntary, industry-led approach. ... After failing to persuade the Europeans to accept voluntary standards, "they painted themselves into a corner and they're trying to create space to look at other options,'' he added. .... Commerce Secretary William Daley said in a speech at the conference that negotiations over the privacy directive could be completed by the end of the year. "The last thing we need is disruption of electronic commerce across the Atlantic,'' Daley said. Source: Reuters Limited.
