<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Paul, allow me to submit that the very second that I, as an EU citizen, come to know that I'm going to be subject to US laws I will move to EU suppliers. This will kill US business quite quickly. Moreover, countries like Germany, UK, ireland, France are strong about having their data hosted in their own jurisdiction exactly to be in charge and in control of what they authorize. We in EU have been discussing this for a long time, and there is general agreement not to submit to US or any other foreign law. This is very important here, so if US wants to boost EU data business and kill US presence then be my guest :)<br><br></div>Regards,<br></div>Giuseppe<br><div><div><br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 17 October 2017 at 14:57, Paul Rosenzweig <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:paul.rosenzweig@redbranchconsulting.com" target="_blank">paul.rosenzweig@redbranchconsulting.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div class="m_1889088236262078184WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">With respect Giuseppe, the EU privacy directives are all conditioned by an overaching umbrella agreement between the US and the EU on law enforcement data sharing.
