EU Commission has set an Advisory Panel to revise EU Data Protection Directive

As highlighted in this article, you might be interest in knowing that the European Commission has set an Advisory Panel, including executives from Google and Intel, to help revising the European Union laws on Data Protection:

"The aim of the group is to identify issues and challenges raised by new technologies. We are not reviewing the main data protection laws at present, but this could be a first step," said European Commission spokesman Michele Cercone. He added that the executives were chosen in a private capacity, rather than as representatives of their companies."
