The main issue for EU with regard to NSA/USA, is that NSA makes no difference on data collection and USA government makes no difference in intelligence use. NSA collects all data they can and USA government uses that to maximize USA interests, no matter if it is terrorism or industrial espionage and information sharing with their US national businesses against EU. Unlike USA, EU has nothing that organized in place to match that threat.
