Abstract

This contribution on the TCA digital trade chapter unpacks the regulatory context, provides a commentary of the substantive provisions, and offers a comparative analysis of the TCA digital trade chapter with other trade deals of the EU and of other key players. One of the key issues of the EU-UK negotiations had been calibrating the interplay between the commitments on cross-border data flows and the protection of personal data and privacy, which merits a special focus in this contribution. It is here that the TCA digital trade chapter signifies an interesting new modification of the EU external trade strategy at the interface between trade and privacy, with potentially important consequences for both the EU and the UK. The contribution concludes with an appraisal and an outlook.

Pitching trade against privacy: reconciling EU governance of personal data flows with external trade external link

Irion, K. & Yakovleva, S.

Abstract

This article positions EU’s external governance of personal data flows against the backdrop of the international controversy on digital trade versus strict privacy laws. Now that the EU has defined its position on horizontal provisions on cross-border data flows and personal data protection, it is both timely and essential to reassess its strategy on the international transfers of personal data in the purview of its future trade agreements. For its own normative approach and regulatory autonomy, the EU has a pivotal role to play in shaping the interface between trade and privacy before the ‘free trade leviathan’ can restrict the policy choices not only of individual states but also of the EU itself. Our contribution aims to break through the present compartmentalization of privacy scholarship and trade lawyers because it situates personal data flows in both disciplines.
