The Irish High Court has today confirmed that it will be seeking
a ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union
("CJEU") on questions as to the validity of the standard
contractual clauses mechanism for transfers of personal data
between the EU and the US. A ruling from the CJEU on this issue is
likely to have global repercussions on the way international data
transfers are handled. Witness the impact of the CJEU's ruling
on the Safe Harbor mechanism.
The specific questions on which the CJEU will be asked to rule
have not yet been formulated. Until a final judgment from the CJEU,
the standard contractual clauses remain valid and their use is in
no way prohibited, but caution is advised.
