L' INTELLIGENCE CYBER par Jean-Paul Pinte

On 12 July 2016, the European Commission adopted the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield adequacy decision. The WP29 welcomes the improvements brought by the Privacy Shield mechanism compared to the Safe Harbour decision. In its Opinion WP238 on the draft EU-U.S. Privacy Shield adequacy decision, the WP29 expressed concerns and asked for various clarifications. The WP29 commends the Commission and the U.S. authorities for having taken them into consideration in the final version of the Privacy Shield documents. However, a number of these concerns remain regarding both the commercial aspects and the access by U.S. public authorities to data transferred from the EU.
