EU-US 'Safe Harbour' data transfers declared invalid
2015-10-06 12:34:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that the 'safe harbour' agreement on data transfer between the EU and US is invalid, casting doubt on the extent to which US tech giants such as Facebook, Google and Apple can continue to collect data from their users in the EU. The ECJ's ruling upholds the opinion of its advocate-general Yves Bot, who last month said the 'safe harbour' deal should be invalidated "because the surveillance carried out by the US is mass, indiscriminate surveillance," leaving the data of European citizens unprotected in the US. The agreement has been in force since 2000 but has come under severe criticism following revelations of widespread US spying from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

Court advocate says EU states can block data transfers to US
2015-09-23 14:56:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The advocate-general of the EU Court of Justice has recommended that member states of the EU be allowed to suspend the transfer of personal data to the US by companies operating in the EU if they find that individual privacy may be threatened. The EU's existing Data Protection Directive allows data on EU citizens to be transferred outside the EU only if the recipient country has been granted 'safe harbour' status. The status is granted after a vetting by the European Commission of the foreign country's legal protections for personal data and privacy. While the US has long enjoyed safe harbour status, an Austrian citizen, Maximillian Scherms, questioned whether this is still valid following the revelations by Edwards Snowden of mass surveillance of personal data by US security services. In particular, Scherms questioned the transfer of his data by Facebook from its servers based in Ireland to its operations in the US. The Irish data protection regulator rejected his initial complaint, citing the safe harbour status granted to the US in a Commission decision in 2000. Following Scherms appeal, the Irish High Court sought the opinion of the EU Court of Justice on the matter. The EU Court's advocate-general has now issued his opinion in the case, saying national regulators may ignore the Commission's decision under their obligation to uphold the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights, which includes the right to a private life and personal data protection. The opinion of the advocate-general is not binding on the EU Court. It must still issue its own opinion on the case, after which the Irish High Court will rule.
