Objective
The ground-breaking judgment of the CJEU
Schrems v Data Protection Commissioner is one more wake-up call that not much compromise is acceptable when it comes to privacy and data protection which are and will be high priorities of the political agenda of the EU legal order.
Consequently, a new agreement for flows of data between the EU and the US needs to be adopted until the end of January 2016. The spotlight of this event is centred on the developments after the judgment and will discuss the challenges in front.
Key topics
- New agreement for legal flow of data between the EU and the USA
- Article 29 Working Party’s statement on transfer tools
- The new role of the Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) and supervision mechanisms
