Statement from President Joe Biden on EU Adoption of Adequacy Decision for U.S.-EU Data Flows

 I welcome the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework—which will allow personal data to be transferred from Europe to U.S. companies safely and securely. Today’s announcement represents the culmination of years of close cooperation between the United States and the European Union, and affirms the strength of our transatlantic relationship founded on our shared democratic values and vision for the world. The decision reflects our joint commitment to strong data privacy protections and will create greater economic opportunities for our countries and companies on both sides of the Atlantic.
