Snowden revelations hit war on terror as EU MPs call for suspension of data-sharing deal

The European Parliament has voted to suspend a data-sharing agreement with the US, which gave the Americans access to certain details of financial transactions in order to track terrorist financing. The vote comes amid growing anger in Europe over Edward Snowden’s NSA revelations. The Parliament itself cannot suspend the deal, but the European Commission can. However, the Commission has indicated that it doesn’t intend to suspend anything just yet.
