US Federal Register: Department of the Treasury: Office of Foreign Assets Control Notice: Publication of U.S./EU: Exchange of Letters and Terrorist Finance Tracking Program Representations of the United States Department of the Treasury (thanks to Cryptome, pdf)

The exchange of letters between the EU and the USA shows how the US access to all bank money transfers in the EU (and world-wide) is to be legitimated: it will be accessed by the USA for "commercial purposes" under the so-called "Safe Harbour" scheme. However, the data is not being collected for "commercial purposes" but for the US Terrorist Finance Tracking Programme on suspected terrorists and their contacts.

Our work is only possible with your support.
