Fears Trump decree may unravel EU-US data pact

A presidential decree signed by Donald Trump this week puts into question whether the EU-US data transfer deal Privacy Shield is still valid, according to MEP Jan Phillip Albrecht. The executive order says that foreigners will not be protected by US privacy law. The Privacy Shield has already been criticised by European privacy activists who say it wouldn't stand up to legal scrutiny by the EU's top court.
