I hope we can also get some examination of the safe-harbour agreements that allow the shipping of data to the US, contravening the usual data protection laws, when certain guarantees are given.

Clearly these guarantees are meaningless in today's world.

This is particular interest to me as a teacher. Suspension of the safe-harbour agreements would mean schools having to shutdown any US based services they use such as Google Apps, where student data is stored.
