EU wants same-day trade, security talks in US spy row
July 04, 2013
European security types are set to meet their US counterparts in Washington next week as European Union nations, incensed by reports of US snooping, link negotiations on a mega EU-US trade deal to same-day parallel talks on intelligence-swooping.
Diplomatic sources told AFP that top security and intelligence experts from both sides of the Atlantic would meet Monday -- when EU and US trade experts are also putting their heads together -- under a deal worked out but not yet finalised by EU ambassadors in Brussels.
