After meeting her counterparts in Dublin, Reding insisted that citizens' rights were "non-negotiable" despite the importance of national security considerations.The Wall Street Journal writes that Holder spoke of EU and US computer experts going work together to understand what was done with European data collected under the Prism programme.
