The European Commission will now need to determine whether the new US framework offers an adequate level of data protection. The process will involve approval from the Member States as well as consultation of the European Data Protection Board. The European Parliament may also adopt a non-binding position.

The EU and the US are each other’s most important partners and need a robust mechanism for data transfers.
