Trade and privacy, complicated bed fellows? How to achieve data protection-proof trade agreements (University of Amsterdam, 104 pages, July 2016)
Independent study on data protection and trade. Was commissioned by BEUC, EDRi, TQCD and CDD. This ground breaking study sheds light on how trade agreements such as the future EU-US trade deal (TTIP) treat personal data and privacy. The study also covers the GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services), TiSA (Trade in Services Agreement) and CETA (EU-Canada trade agreement). By looking at both EU and international law, the researchers conclude that the EU should protect its citizens’ personal data, and prevent their privacy from being weakened in trade agreements. To do so, the EU must take action to safeguard its rules on data protection from legal challenge by its trade partners.
