β¦ Synopsis
The EU Data Protection Directive is likely to have a substantial impact on international businesses.
Local data protection regimes will be undermined if there are no restrictions on the transfer of personal data to other jurisdictions for processing, storage or use.
Almost all non-EU countries have no data protection legislation and must therefore be expected to be in the EU's 'inadequate' category.
Even in cases where consents or specific contractual arrangements are an option, it may take a considerable time and significant expense to obtain such consents or introduce revised contracts.
Those who leave international data protection compliance to the last minute do so at their peril.
