[governance] Regional Networks and Global Trade

[Camino.MANJON at ec.europa.eu]

Hello,

Also, in November last year (27.11.2013) the EU published a Communication and a package names "Restoring trust in EU-US data flows" (http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/files/com_2013_846_en.pdf) and that addresses the Safe Harbour, coupled with a second Communication on the functioning of the Safe Harbour from the perspective of EU Citizens and Companies established in the EU (http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/files/com_2013_847_en.pdf)

"Making Safe Harbour safer: the Commission today made 13 recommendations to improve the functioning of the Safe Harbour scheme, after an analysis also published today finds the functioning of the scheme deficient in several respects. Remedies should be identified by summer 2014. The Commission will then review the functioning of the scheme based on the implementation of these 13 recommendations."

Here is the press release http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-1166_en.htm
This is a MEMO containing a section on Safe Harbor http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-13-1059_en.htm
These are the concrete changes to the Safe Harbor: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/policies/privacy/thridcountries/adequacy-faq1_en.htm

Best

Hi Dominique,
Safe Harbor was not very efficient, indeed. There were many defficiencies with regard to enforcement and judicial remedies. Since the registration was outside the EU it could not be controlled by the EU, nobody had really an overview whether the rules were being implemented or not. Therefore Germany proposed to bild a robust framework for mechanisms like Safe Harbor within the new EU regulation (which is a good idea in my opinion). However a concrete proposal is still on work and has to be discussed in the Council.
Kind regards,
Lorena

Thanks Wolfgang. Very interesting.

p.5 "and has called for revocation of the U.S.-EU “Safe Harbor” Framework, which has provided a practical mechanism for both U.S companies and their business partners in Europe to export data to the United States, while adhering to EU privacy requirements."

I was told that the U.S.-EU “Safe Harbor” Framework was not very efficient. Was it ?

@+, best regards, Dominique
