The EU has slammed the US for its demand that Microsoft surrender overseas data – emails held on Irish servers – saying that the move could contravene international law.
The US attempt to make Microsoft provide the emails prompted
Viviane Reding, vice-president of the European Commission, to
offer support to Microsoft and openly criticize the loss of
personal information it could potentially involve.
“The commission’s concern is that the extraterritorial
application of foreign laws [and orders to companies based
thereon] may be in breach of international law,” Reding
wrote last week in a letter responding to questions from Dutch
MEP Sophia in't Veld, reported the Financial Times on Monday.
The move would “hurt the competitiveness of US cloud
providers in general,” Microsoft said, adding that:
“Microsoft and US technology companies have faced growing
mistrust and concern about their ability to protect the privacy
of personal information located outside the US.”
