U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announces proposal to give EU citizens right to sue for privacy rights violations. Holder has also been negotiating a new EU-U.S Data Protection and Privacy Agreement with his European counterparts.

But Congress must approve the proposal, and the Obama administration must convince Congress to pass legislation. “Words only matter if put into law,” says civil rights group Privacy International International.”]
