Datenschutz/direktive: EU klagt 5 EU-Staaten

Fünf EU-Staaten werden von der EU-Komission an den
Ohren vor den Europäischen Gerichtshof gezerrt, wegen
mangelhafter Implementierung der Datenschutz-Direktive.

The European Commission said on Tuesday it would take five
European Union member states to court for failing to
implement rules designed to protect individuals' privacy on
the Internet and other electronic networks.

The EU executive said it had decided to take France,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany and Ireland to the
Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice for failing to
fully implement the EU's Data Protection Directive.

The law, which went into force at the end of 1998, gives
individuals broad rights to know -- and in some cases control -
- how information about their buying habits, credit ratings,
political affiliations or other characteristics is used.

The Commission said it had twice warned the five member
states to fall into line. It also said individuals in countries
which had not yet implemented the directive could invoke
some of its provisions in their own courts if they wanted.

The directive has already caused problems with the EU's
trading partners, notably the United States, because it
prohibits the transfer of data outside the 15-nation bloc to
countries which do not have ``adequate'' privacy rules.
