"Based on the information in the official's letter to your Chamber, the situation is that the official was required to participate in an exercise that would take place in the data center of a private company. The company obligated the official to sign a statement that could allow the company to share any information it collects about the official within the company with any security agency in the United States." In response: "It is therefore important to recognize that a private company cannot simply require Dutch citizens to agree to the sharing of personal data with foreign authorities." And: "While visitors, including participants in exercises, generally have the choice of whether or not to agree to sign statements as a condition of entry, that freedom can be significantly reduced if participation is essential and part of the job and/or assignment." "It is not for me to determine the precise implications of this situation from an employment law perspective. Ultimately, a judge would have the final say. From the official's letter, I understand that their refusal to sign the statement was reviewed, and the outcome was that they were allowed to refuse to sign."
