Merkel's concerns are centered more on data security and protection,
those are key words that revolved around her concerns.

Although a big challenge, those concerns are most addressed through
technology. Germany seems to understand the magnitude of the problem
and how tricky it is to solve, that is why they had tried to negotiate
unsuccessfully for a "no spy" agreement with US. It is very clear that
an Euro-based network would still not be as secure as Germany expects.
