Should international sharing of biometric and medical data be harmonised?

Should international sharing of biometric and medical data be harmonised? Who should have the authority to oversee this process?

One of the aims of EU Directive 95/46/EC was to harmonise data protection legislation across the EU, but this goal has not been entirely met (Poullet, 2006; Kuner, 2009). While harmonisation is an ideal for some, it is not clear that universal data protection policies are feasible or desirable. For instance, should all countries have the same minimum age of consent for participation in medical research studies?
