On March 6, 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (College bescherming persoonsgegevens, see here) to “enhance information sharing and enforcement cooperation on privacy-related matters”.
The MOU is similar to agreements the FTC has signed with with the data protection authorities of Ireland and the United Kingdom.
The MOU sets forth the agencies’ intent to protect consumer privacy on both sides of the Atlantic and deals with mutual assistance and exchange of information for the purpose of investigating, and enforcing compliance against privacy violations.
