Why Europe will adopt RFID slowly

While in the United States RFID industry grows unabated, free from government intervention, it is a different story in Europe. The European Commission and governments throughout the continent are concerned about the Security and Privacy issues related with RFID. They have launched multiple events to research and discuss all the issues related to RFID implementation.

Moreover, there are already many laws governing technology implementation. All this may seem daunting for the RFID industry but they may be a good thing for citizens throughout Europe. In addition, can the U.S. learn something from Europe regarding this matter or vice versa?
