The EU-US Trade and Technology Council meeting on the 29th Sep will go ahead as planned despite concerns from the EU to cancel over issues with a US-UK submarine contract with Australia. The European Commission announced that the talks were back on Thursday night. “Strategic alliances are about shaping common approaches and also overcoming difficulties,” European Commission Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said.
Elsewhere, in a keynote speech relating to US privacy regulation, US Federal Trade Commissioner Christine Wilson remarked, “The bottom line is that federal privacy legislation is long overdue. But two key gating issues must be resolved before privacy legislation becomes a reality,” she said.
