Max Schrems decision: Court of Justice of the European Union asks Irish Data Protection Commissioner (via the High Court) to think again over 'Safe Harbour'. US cannot be assumed a safe place to transfer personal data.

For all those reasons, the Court declares the Safe Harbour Decision invalid. This judgment has the consequence that the Irish supervisory authority is required to examine Mr Schrems’ complaint with all due diligence and, at the conclusion of its investigation, is to decide whether, pursuant to the directive, transfer of the data of Facebook’s European subscribers to the United States should be suspended on the ground that that country does not afford an adequate level of protection of personal data.
