Under European law, sure. But the American government is not and cannot be bound by European law, only by bi-lateral treaty.

Regardless of your moral stance on the issue, one law does not have a greater legal significance. This is exactly why we have bi-lateral treaties.

If a company operates in several jurisdictions, and can not comply with the laws in one without breaking the laws in others, it's not a matter of precedence, just a bad situation to be in.
