Transborder Data Flow

This article looks at the foreign laws that affect data processing and Transborder Data Flow.

This article looks at how data that transfers from a European Union member country to a third world country can only take place where that country ensures the adequate level of protection. Also, it raises these questions: What if that country does not have any privacy laws or what if its laws fail to satisfy the European Union?

This article explores the issues surrounding the harmonization of privacy or data protection during the past 30 years. It begins with a history of the conflict over transborder data flows and then proceeds to analyze current national and regional policy debates about the feasibility of policy solutions to address problems that are crucial to global communications and economic networks.

"Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process,
gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers,
quietly building new structures."
-- John F. Kennedy

"Imagine all the people living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
and the world will be as one."
-- John Lennon
