What country? Most of Europe has worse laws than the US for surveillance of their own subjects (though their secret interpretations of their worse laws as far as we know are better than the US interpretations). What they don't have, because no one does, is restrictions on spying on people outside of their country. We are just as much fair game for the BND(German), DSGE(French),FAPSI/GRU (Russia) as their subjects are to us.

If it hurts the economy, they will do anything to fix it. Of course the USA is leading the pack on surveillance so if they have to reduce it then the EU countries are free to (and probably will) do so as well.
