Dear Ms Tackett,

 

Following the invalidation of the 2000 Safe Harbour decision by the Court
of Justice of the European Union in a ruling from 6 October 2015 (Schrems
case), the Commission started negotiations with the U.S. authorities
towards a new framework. After the announcement of a political agreement
on a ‘EU-US Privacy Shield’ (2 February 2016), the Commission published a
draft “Adequacy decision” on 29 February 2016, followed by a revised
Adequacy decision on EU-US Privacy Shield (July 2016). You find a summary
of Parliament's and Commission's dealings on the issue on Parliament's
website which also provides access to relevant documents:
[1]http://www.europarl.europa.eu/legislativ...
. Among its initiatives Parliament hosted a public hearing on the topic on
17 March 2016, for which you may also find the reference on the website
referred to.
