Data agreement approved by EU court
Brussels – Twice, the EU’s court has struck down the EU’s agreement on data transfer to the USA. But the third attempt has now been approved after yet another review in court.
“The USA has guaranteed an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU,” it states among other things in Wednesday’s ruling regarding the most recently agreed agreement from 2023.
The two previous agreements on the same theme were rejected in 2015 and 2020, respectively. In the third variant, however, the EU has managed to negotiate enhanced protection to prevent the misuse of European data.
