In the US at least, that might be driven more by the demand that federal contractors comply with certain rules or lose funding as well as the now-possible legal liability. So by using both carrots and sticks, they can force private enterprise to care about the subject, but only to the extent that the government regulations are written. This is wonderful news if you believe that the government (whether in Brussels, London, or Washington, DC) always gets technical issues correct while legislating.
