9 9HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL #222605 AMCHAM EU Position on Intra-EU Data Flows General assessment Flexible mechanisms for international data transfers are key for companies operating on both sides of the Atlantic. Directive needs to be implemented consistently in all 27 EU Member States Too often, 27 different compliance regimes Binding Corporate Rules BCRs provide an excellent new mechanism for companies to transfer data to non-EEA countries. The benefit is a unified, global company standard, tailored to a companys unique culture or business compliance processes. More DPA resources should be devoted to reviewing BCRs Mutual recognition of a lead DPAs approval by other DPAs Clear indication of what each DPA requires to approve a set of BCRs

10 10HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL #222605 AMCHAM EU Position on Intra-EU Data Flows Standard Contractual Clauses Alternative Standard Contractual Clauses are a valuable means to legitimize data transfer outside the EEA. However, a number of practical difficulties remain in the application of the clauses. DPAs should support multi party contracts Consistent standards for notification and approval WP 29 should prepare a report on companies obligation to file SCCs EU Member States should apply uniform procedural requirements when using the clauses Onward transfer to a data processor should be allowed. Consent Consent is a useful tool for transferring some personal data to third countries, in particular relating to employee data for specific applications. Adequate prior information needs to be provided. Consent by employees should be acceptable for specific applications Consent by employees should also be acceptable for less confidential data Countries legal requirements should be limited to the Directives demands Safe Harbor The Safe Harbor Agreement is a success, as it provides a flexible and well-structured process to manage the free flow of information between signatories of the agreement. Safe Harbor should be extended to sectors currently excluded.
