"...are European companies comfortable with housing their really important data on Amazon or Google servers? Are they truly compatible with EU data protection laws?"
Apparently they are comfortable with lots of hypocrisy. The UK intends to require ISPs keep records on every accessed internet site for 12 months. Oh, its protected by a court order and so it is fully compliant with EU law. Try doing that in the US.
And what about the German "outrage" two years when NSA was revealed to have spied on Merkel? German investigators haven't been able to prove that actually happened. But they have dug up evidence that the German BND spied on pretty much every country they could:

Why is there a widely held belief that US data protection is worse than EU, when evidence indicates it is the same or better? Euro-jealously perhaps?
