DESCRIPTION:**Background**\n\nIn a landmark judgment on October 7 the Gran
 d Chamber of the Court of Justice of the EU has ruled that the Safe Harbou
 r framework governing the transfer of EU citizens' personal data to the US
  does not comply with the requirements of EU Data Protection law in light 
 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and is therefore invalid under EU 
 law. \n\nThe Safe Harbour framework stemmed from a decision of the Europea
 n Commission in 2000 (2000/520/EC) that the US afforded an adequate level 
 of protection of personal data transferred to the US from the EU.  This de
 cision was made long before the EU Charter became part of EU law and more 
 than a decade prior to the Edward Snowden revelations.\n\nThe ECJ's judgme
 nt thus invalidates arrangements that for 15 years have allowed upwards of
  4\,000 Internet companies to transfer the personal data of European users
  to server farms in the US and elsewhere.  It has very ride-ranging implic
 ations -- not just for data-protection law\, but also for the economics of
  Internet companies and for international relations.\n\nThis workshop will
  discuss some of those implications.\n\n**Chair** David Runciman\n\n**Spea
