Global Industry Statement in Support of a New Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework

Writer's picture: EPCEPC

The undersigned associations welcome the recent EU-US announcement of a new Trans-

Atlantic Data Privacy Framework to strengthen data protection, support responsible data

transfers, and enable continued transatlantic commerce. We urge the swift finalisation of

a Framework that, as stated by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen,

“enables predictable and trustworthy data flows between the EU and US, safeguarding

privacy and civil liberties.”


Implementation of a new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework is critical to a

constructive transatlantic relationship. As set out in the Annex to this letter, ongoing

uncertainty relating to data transfers has significant economic repercussions for EU

enterprises, exports, jobs, innovation, and SMEs, and undermines the ability to promote

high data protection standards.


EU enterprises in all sectors and of all sizes rely on their ability to transfer data responsibly

around the world, even more so today as many have moved their businesses online amid

the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies transfer personal data to send business emails,

process payroll and global workforce data, work with suppliers, and serve customers

around the world.


However, the central beneficiaries of a new Framework will be EU and US citizens,

who will benefit from strengthened personal data protections as new participant

companies adopt the privacy controls required by the program, and as new governmental

commitments on access to data are implemented.


We again congratulate and urge the European Union and the United States to swiftly bring

the new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework into force.
