The Telecoms Reform package, which consists of a set of new laws tackling subjects ranging from data breach notifications to faster number porting, will become law in every EU country by May 2011, it was agreed on Wednesday night.

People should actively ignore every EU law simply because I don't think we need this extra level of control from so far away.
Who pays for all these people to make decisions on our behalf even though no one asked them to...at least no one that matters!
So far with regards IT I think they have used a couple of large companies as ATM machines and thats about it!
With regards relevant experience to discuss IT related issues...they seem to have less knowledge as our own government which is a recipe for disaster!
