Sarah has been campaigning for the EU to take action and look at ways in which it can tighten up data protection laws. She has twice written to EU Commissioner Franco Frattini to request a green paper into data protection. Sarah has also been trying to raise attention to the failure to respond to this issue, particularly by the UK government.

The link below is a video of Sarah talking in the European Parliament about what needs to be done to solve this problem:
