We did indeed work with them in the past when we registered our trademark, and consulted with them concerning an infringement case which was settled amicably. Adding to Samuel's comment, the Council of Europe Treaty 108 is worth looking at concerning data privacy, in particular the basic concept that data cannot be exported to jurisdictions with weaker data protection (i.e. the US and other countries).
