Yeah, that's not accurate. US organizations sue EU organizations in US courts (and vice versus) on a regular basis but have EU courts collect the damages. Congress can carve out an exemption, but I haven't heard of an effort in that direction getting started yet. In the absence of a legislative exemption the EU regulators can absolutely sue a US entity in US civil courts and get a ruling based on EU laws and regulations.
Here's a completely unrelated civil case, on libel, that references the bilateral enforcement and how NY state carved out an exemption. https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/03/21/394273902/on-libel-and-the-law-u-s-and-u-k-go-separate-ways Scott Helms -------------------------------- http://twitter.com/kscotthelms -------------------------------- On Wed, May 23, 2018 at 11:56 AM, Owen DeLong <o...@delong.com> wrote: > Not really.
