The link you provided writes about 4 countries (not named), but the list contains 5 countries (higher in the article). So one of the countries complied with the data exchange. Another issues is that US data protection laws are less strict then EU ones, so transferring EU citizens data to the US is not considered safe, and EC is not happy that some countries do that (and I'm sure citizens of those countries are not happy either). From my point of view visas should be symmetrical, if you force me to get visa to get to your country, then your citizens need it to get to mine - very clean solution.
