The German government has called for voluntary data protection code to be in place by 7 December 2010. The move follows a meeting with Google, Apple and other companies to discuss how personal data is accessible on line. It comes as the German newspaper Der Spiegel reports that "several hundred thousand" people have opted out of Google's Street View service. Google has yet to launch its service in Germany, following privacy complaints. The German Interior Minister, Thomas de Maiziere, said that the proposal to establish a code by 7 December "met with approval" and that it will enable users to obtain information on the gathering and intended user of data "in a user-friendly way".
