Oxford Academic's International Data Privacy Law journal takes a look at the context and challenges surrounding the e-evidence negotiations between the EU and U.S. that began September 2019. While the U.S. government wishes to end the talks with a "framework agreement" with the EU and its member states, the EU seeks to reach an all-encompassing resolution that avoids different rules for each country. The article also looks at how the Court of Justice of the European Union's "Schrems II" decision may affect negotiations. Editor's note: IAPP Research Director Caitlin Fennessy, CIPP, wrote for Privacy Perspectives about the need for diplomatic solutions to the questions around data transfers.
