The EU's promising\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einitiatives to extend the protection of privacy in cyberspace set the stage for a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebroader dialogue on constitutional problems related to the enforcement of fundamental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erights and the legitimate exercise of power that are common to different\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elegal orders of world society.
