EDRI campaign at Schiphol airport (Amsterdam).

EDRI and its partners held successful actions on 20 May at Schiphol (Amsterdam), Zaventem (Brussels) and Vienna airport.

At all three airports EDRI members have provided airline passengers with important information about the transfer of their personal data to US authorities. Passengers were given a letter they can send to the national Data Protection Authority in their country to request an investigation of the illegal transfer of their personal data.

The action in Amsterdam was done by Bits of Freedom with Kathalijne Buitenweg (member of the European parliament) and Marijke Vos and Jan de Wit (members of the Dutch parliament). In Brussels Kathalijne Buitenweg and Marco Cappato (both members of the European parliament) informed passengers. In Vienna passengers were given information and letters by Public Netbase.
