RFID & Standardisation

In my research, one of the boundaries that I am looking into is on standardisation of RFID in its frequencies and tags across these jurisdictions: South Korea, Japan, Europe and Asia Pacific. Special cross reference will be made to the United States' contours. Prior to zooming into these countries/continents, Australia has had made a commendable progress last January 2009 on its RFID standardisation. The question that I am pondering (at this juncture), is how and why, to what extent, these standards co-exist with data protection and privacy? It would be particularly engaging if I could look and deal with case-by-case scenarios of RFID applications that are being deployed in various industries as against the background of standards. Maybe IBM or MOTOROLA RFID-based solutions shall provide some general technical guidance.
