Should it ultimately be down to national courts to decide, or should data protection authorities have the final say? These are the kinds of questions Google’s European roadshow is dealing with. In each city, Eric Schmidt and his advisory council are taking evidence from half a dozen or so local experts, to help them figure it all out.
