CBI comments on EU data privacy ruling

The CBI commented on the European Commission’s announcement that it has reached a new Safe Harbour deal with the United States of America.

Tom Thackray, Acting CBI Competitive Markets Director, said:

“Transferring data easily and securely between Europe and the USA is critical for businesses in our modern digital economy, so firms will be relieved that a new framework has at last been agreed to replace Safe Harbour.

“Businesses now need clarity fast on what they need to do to comply with the new framework so it can be implemented quickly and effectively.

“Getting this right will be important to the future of Europe's digital agenda, as well as doing business with our largest trading partner, the United States.”
