A new data protection framework between the EU and the US is being finalised and should be “fully functional” by the summer. That’s according to European Commission spokesperson, Christian Wigand.
He was commenting on the decision by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission to impose a €1.2bn fine on Facebook’s parent company, Meta for breaching the EU’s GDPR rules (General Data Protection Regulation). The Commission found Meta continued to transfer personal data from the EU to the US despite a European Court of Justice ruling against such transfers.
Mr Wigand said the new data protection framework would guarantee “stability and legal certainty” for businesses. And he said it would also ensure the strict protection of the private life of citizens.
