This is one of only a few good things I've ever heard the EU is doing (phasing out incandescent light bulb is another thing).
I'm surprised the (US) companies haven't bought a ton of lobbyists spreading money around to change to course of thing. Perhaps (hopefully) that doesn't work with the CJEU or it hasn't been up for voting in the parliament...

I'm also afraid TTIP will just be another Safe Harbor debacle, I have very little confidence in the workings of the EU, which seem to have a life of it's own, separate from the sovereign states it comprises.

I can only hope the EU will get stronger data protection laws in place quickly though.
