DESCRIPTION:A lunchtime workshop of the ‘Technology and Democracy’ pro
 ject\n\nIn a landmark judgment on October 7 the European Court of Justice 
 has ruled that the Safe Harbour framework governing the transfer of EU cit
 izens’ 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 an
 d is therefore invalid under EU law.\n\nThe Safe Harbour framework stemmed
  from a decision of the European 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 decision was made long before the EU Charter b
 ecame part of EU law and more than a decade prior to the Edward Snowden re
 velations.\n\nThe ECJ’s judgment thus invalidates arrangements that for 
 15 years have allowed Internet companies to transfer the personal data of 
 European users to server farms in the US and elsewhere. It has very wide-r
 anging implications — not just for data-protection law\, but also for th
 e economics of Internet companies and for international relations. This wo
 rkshop will discuss some of those implications.\n\nPanel: David Runciman (
 chair)\, John Naughton\, Ross Anderson\, Nora Ni Loideain\n\nA sandwich lu
 nch will be provided at 12:30 pm
