Evolving Law: The Status Of Data Transfer From The EU

We have written about the significant changes to the laws and regulations governing the transfer of data from European Union (EU) countries. See, e.g., Data Flow From The EU: Is It Dead?, New Framework For Transatlantic Data Flows, and related article Europe’s Data Tranfer Laws Continue To Evolve: Switzerland Changes Its Requirements.  The interpretations of the new EU requirements and obligations continue to evolve, leaving many entities confused about current appropriate protocols for necessary data transfers.
