Data Protection Commissioner fights US over EU data privacy rights
Commissioner Helen Dixon has brought a case with potentially enormous implications for trade and privacy rights of millions of EU citizens, aimed at having the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) decide whether transatlantic data transfer channels breach the privacy rights of EU citizens.
Ms Dixon formed a “provisional” view that there are “deficiencies” concerning rights of EU citizens to access remedies under US law for breach of data protection rights under European law, the court was told yesterday.
