Abstract

While the academic and professional world is still dealing with the implications of the previous cases by the European Court of Justice, the Court has issued yet another revolutionary judgement. The exact meaning and consequences of the Schrems v. Facebook case have yet to become clear, but what is sure that it will be one of the landmark cases in the history of data protection. When EdpL held its kick-off event, we already invited Max Schrems to discuss the then pending case and the possible implications of it. We had Paul Nemitz and Hielke Hijmans, among others, to react on his talk. Although the discussants and the audience disagreed on many points, they agreed that this was the ECJ’s chance, after the Google v. Spain case, to adopt yet another ground breaking decision. And so it did. After the judgement, the safe harbour agreement with the United States is wavering.
