European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, Michael McGrath, discusses the evolving digital relationship between the EU and the US under the Trump administration and its implications for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
Speaking at a recent Center for Strategic and International Studies webinar, McGrath said the EU is committed to maintaining the DPF despite the uncertainties surrounding potential US policy changes.
Speaking about the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), McGrath indicated that the Commission is exploring modifications covering small and medium-sized businesses. McGrath said that the "GDPR will feature in a future omnibus package, particularly around the record-keeping for SMEs," adding that "we will be examining what ways in which we can ease the burden on smaller organisations in relation to the retention of records while at the same time preserving the underlying core objective of our GDPR regime."
