They should be concerned. > In a written response to the ANP news agency, Amsterdam’s Public Prosecutor’s Office stated that the seizure was carried out under the mutual legal assistance treaty between the Netherlands and the U.S. In this case, the prosecutor’s office said there was no ground for refusal. So, unless this changes, this could happen to any server in any data centre in the Netherlands. Time to be updating a whole bunch of treaties with the US. Not just the EU, but any country that wants to retain some level of sovereignty.
