    EUbusiness Week 709 top stories: EU calls Greek crisis summit as talks end without deal; Pope slams nations which ‘close the door’ to migrants; EU releases world tax havens blacklist; Euro-MPs back animal cloning ban; EU takes legal action against German road toll; ‘Brexit could be your Waterloo!’ Le Monde warns Britain

    Publisher’s Note

    Talks between the EU institutions on new data protection rules are set to start on 24 June following a Council meeting this week. MEPs, who adopted their position in March last year, will now look to move quickly to agree a roadmap towards finalisation of the reform by the end of 2015.

    Differences remain, such as on consumer rights and duties of businesses. But the fact that the EU is at last pushing ahead with data protection reform will encourage many people in the business, hoping to make better use of innovative digital services such as big data and cloud computing.
