Скачать или смотреть A critical view on the efficacy of the Data Privacy Framework by Jean-Baptiste Soufron

On December 13th 2023, Sciences Po’s Chair Digital, Governance and Sovereignty held its annual Conference on: “The EU-US Data Privacy Framework: what future for transatlantic data transfers?” directly from the French Parliament in Paris.

On July 10, 2023, the European Commission definitively adopted the adequacy decision on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The Commission found that the safeguards provided by the new US Executive Order 14086 and the following EU-US agreement on the Data Privacy Framework offer an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the European Union to the US. It was about time the new framework came into force. Since the invalidation of the Privacy Shield on July 16, 2020, transatlantic data transfers have been mostly based on standard contractual clauses, posing increasingly insurmountable difficulties. Despite the achievement of this milestone, multiple questions and uncertainties remain open circa the legal and technical implementation of the agreement and a third potential invalidation coming from the EU Court of Justice.

Jean-Baptiste Soufron - Lawyer at the Paris Bar, Cabinet FWPA, Member of the Association for the Defense of Constitutional Liberties - shared a more critical and skeptical view on the efficacy of the DPF, stating the probability of the Agreement of being once again contested by the ECJU.
