“The EU said Tuesday it will seek a strong commitment from the United States to respect the rights of European citizens, following revelations that Washington is running a worldwide Internet surveillance programme. Viviane Reding, the EU’s Justice Commissioner, ‘will raise the issue with force and determination’ at a meeting in Dublin on Friday with US officials, the bloc’s Health Commissioner Tonio Borg said.
