On April, 28, 2008, the Georgetown University Law Center hosted a panel of European Parlament representatives and professor to discus Emerging Privacy Issues Between the US and EU: Bridging the Transatlantic Gap. Watch the video of the session at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/webcast/eventDetail.cfm?eventID=557 The United States and the European Union are confronting many common privacy challenges - promoting trust and confidence for Internet commerce, developing safeguards for behavioral targeting and search histories, security breach notification and identity theft. There are also areas - identification requirements, border control and passenger record transfers - where national security requirements appear to conflict with privacy laws. The panelists discussed current efforts to address these challenges.
