The European Union clinched Monday, November 30, a key deal allowing
the United States to use data about European citizens for anti-terror
investigations. "It's decided for nine months," an EU diplomat told
Agence France Presse (AFP) on condition of anonymity.
The deal allows US justice authorities to access data from the Society
for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT).
The agreement was reached after Austria, Germany and Hungary abstained
in a vote rather than opposing the accord, the diplomat said.
The accord would take effect from February 1 for nine months, instead
of the year originally planned. More -
