This webinar is organised by the Jean Monnet Chair in Law and Transatlantic Relations , by City Law School and the Institute for the Study of European Law (ISEL) at City, University of London.
This seminar explores the future of the EU-US Privacy Shield post-Schrems II. What are the limits of what can be negotiated between the EU and US? What are current stumbling block?
One of the most salient features of transatlantic relations according to scholars has been an agreement as to its non-institutionalisation. Significant convergence may arguably be emerging as between EU and US regulators on the need to weaken Big Tech.
Transatlantic convergence on regulatory standards from competition law to privacy and speech law suggests a commonality of regulatory capture. How does this impact upon the EU-US Privacy Shield future?
The EU-US Joint Agenda for Global Change includes a Transatlantic Trade and Technology Council, working on key global challenges. What are the limits to the reforms of US foreign surveillance laws that can be expected?
Have EU regulators proposed meaningful stop-gaps in the wake of Schrems II? Can the EU and US agree a future for transatlantic data flows? What can replace the EU-US Privacy Shield?
