Which I think is important to many people
It is important to me, too, but for most of Europe, which currently has just WTMD, this is one step forward, two steps back. It is nice that the EU Commission is looking out for everyone, but they are going to make security WORSE than it currently is in most places outside of the UK. I see nothing to be happy about, and I think the EU Commission is just capitulating to the Americans.

At least Germany is exercising some rational thinking and not implementing them at all.
