WASHINGTON: -- Proposed legislation that would give US privacy rights to European citizens is being delayed in the US Senate, which may hinder negotiations over a trans-Atlantic data transfer deal that has a January deadline for completion, according to Reuters.

The Judicial Redress Act, which would allow citizens of some European countries to sue over data privacy in the US, is likely to be held from a vote on Thursday in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The legislation is considered an important step to securing a “Safe Harbor” framework, after the lsat one was stuck down by a European Union court last year over concerns about US surveillance.
