The EU wimps out.

Seems that despite our lofty ideals and our bureaucratic dictates from Brussels when faced up with an aggressive opponent we just wimp out. Read more here.

When this first came up I thought this was going to be where the EU dug it's heels in and made a point.

The EU has put in another interim agreement regarding the sharing of passenger data in direct conflict with EU directives. You and I can get fined thousands and jailed for a breach of the data protection law but here we are now sharing data with the US and, as a bonus, they now get official approval to pass it around.

The first real test of EU power and we have flunked it. What a bunch of wimps. Probably no French people on this panel. They seem to have the ability to dig their heels in and get their own way.
