In today's Washington Post.

A grave threat is said to be stalking Europe. No, it isn’t the
financial crisis and the potential demise of the euro. It’s the
“rapacious” U.S. approach to privacy — which portends, for those
engaged in the development of cloud architecture, a coming “clash” of
privacy laws.
According to Viviane Reding, the European Union’s justice
commissioner, cloud-based companies that collect personal data are
violating fundamental human rights. “We . . . believe that companies
who direct their services to European consumers should be subject to
EU data protection laws. Otherwise, they should not be able to do
business on our internal market,” Reding wrote in November. “This also
applies to social networks with users in the EU. We have to make sure
that they comply with EU law and that EU law is enforced, even if it
is based in a third country and even if its data are stored in a
‘cloud.’ ”
