A coalition of leading US consumer and civil liberties organizations who have expressed concern about the role of US officials in the development of European privacy law. In a letter to the US Secretaries of State, Justice, and Commerce, the groups wrote to seek a meeting to ensure that US lobbying efforts in Europe “are not averse to the views expressed by the president.” The letter states that “without exception,” members of the European Parliament reported that US governmental agencies and businesses were “mounting an unprecedented lobbying campaign to limit the protections that European law would provide.” The letter, endorsed by 18 US NGOs, emphasizes the President’s commitment to protecting privacy, set out in the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights.
