A meeting with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on the future of a trans-Atlantic data transfer pact has left the European Union’s justice commissioner and privacy czar feeling more positive about the survival of the pact under the new U.S. administration.
EU Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova traveled to Washington this week to seek assurances from the Trump administration on the deal and whether it will stick to the commitments made under the Obama administration. Ross assured her “that he understands the importance” of the privacy shield, Jourova said.
