An article by AP published on the Las Vegas Sun's website.

This article discusses the EU's reaction to Google's recent revisions to its' privacy policy.  Google intended to role out the new privacy policy as of March 1, however the article states, "In a letter to Google Chief Executive Larry Page, Jacob Kohnstamm, the chairman of the group of 27 national privacy regulators in the EU, said the French data protection agency has launched an investigation into the new rules and how they will affect Google users in the EU.

"We call for a pause (in the rollout of the new rules) in the interests of ensuring that there can be no misunderstanding about Google's commitments to information rights of their users and EU citizens, until we have completed our analysis," Kohnstamm wrote in the letter, which was sent Thursday and published on Friday."
