Reconciling Data Privacy and Global Data Flows the EU Way

Abstract

Abstract This chapter questions whether horizontal provisions on cross-border data flows used by the European Union (EU) as a model for regulating cross-border data flows in future trade agreements allow the EU to reconcile data privacy and global data flows, while promoting a multilateral rules-based trading system. While horizontal provisions afford the EU a broad autonomy to protect data privacy as a fundamental right, they suffer from important flows. Most notably, the ‘it deems appropriate’ threshold in the digital trade exception for privacy and data protection included in the horizontal provisions creates an undesirable parallel with the national security exception. This chapter examines possible alternative to the ‘it deems appropriate’ threshold and concludes that any of the following three thresholds is a better alternative: ‘non-circumvention’, ‘non-avoidance’, or ‘reasonableness’. It also proposes to create an institutional mechanism to guide the interpretation of such digital trade exception.
