Abstract

Abstract This chapter sets out four propositions explaining the conclusions of this book with respect to the following research question: how should commitments on cross-border data flows in European Union (EU) trade agreements be reconciled with the protection of the fundamental rights to privacy and personal data? The overall conclusion of this book is that to reconcile EU rules on transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and of trade law rules regulating cross-border data flows in the EU’s future digital trade agreements, a reform of both of these sets of rules is necessary. This chapter summarizes the reasoning behind this conclusion and the reform proposals presented in this book.
