Additionally, and more importantly, the governments of EU countries themselves do not respect any of the supposed privacy laws.

All EU countries have their own intelligence services that are doing substantially the same thing as the NSA does, every day.

Well, the EU didn't respect those laws in the first place when it decided we needed to allow US companies to store EU data, despite US companies being incapable of keeping it securely (by law). The whole situation is a mess and nobody's interested in fixing it.
