EDPB releases statement on EU-US data flows political agreement

The European Data Protection Board adopted a statement welcoming the agreement in principle on the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework between the EU and the U.S. EDPB Chair Andrea Jelinek said the proposed data flows framework and the "commitment of the U.S. highest authorities to establish ‘unprecedented’ measures" is "a positive first step." Jelinek said the EDPB will conduct a review of the agreement to ensure "legal certainty" and examine how the agreement "translates into concrete legal proposals to address the concerns raised by the Court of Justice of the European Union." Editor's note: Jelinek will speak at next week's IAPP Global Privacy Summit in Washington, D.C.
