Third-country legislation may have an extra-territorial impact directly affecting companies and citizens within the EU. Such legislation may clash with EU legislation, for example in the field of data protection where the Medicare Act, FATCA, FISA and the Patriot Act require the submission of personal data stored in Europe to the US authorities.
