Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding has said that data-protection authorities in the EU must have greater powers to enforce privacy rules across the 27 member states. Reding said that companies that operate in several member states are currently forced to abide by 27 different interpretations of the region’s privacy rules. She added that the administrative burden associated with this fragmentation costs businesses an estimated 2.3 billion (2bn) per year. Comments come as the European Commission prepares to reform the 1995 Data Protection Directive, in order to address new issues raised by online advertising, social-networking and cloud computing.”]
