"The new Treaty, already agreed but not yet signed, does not include any general provision authorising the transmission of personal data of European citizens to third countries. In fact, Article 15a of the new Treaty guarantees the right, the general right, to the protection of personal data. Article 24 refers to the application of this general right and the processing of data in the common foreign and security policy area.
This means that the transfer of personal data to third countries is based on the general principles or relevant provisions of Directive 95/46/EC on personal data, particularly Articles 25 and 26. This Personal Data Directive remains in force. According to Article 25 of this particular directive, transfer of personal data is permitted only if the third country ensures an adequate level of protection. Article 26 of the same directive provides for the strict and explicit conditions under which it is possible to transfer personal data to third countries in other cases. The framework decision on data protection in the field of judicial and police cooperation will also be another very helpful instrument.
We made a promise. The promise is to adopt, in agreement with Parliament, a framework decision on personal data protection by December. I am very confident that we will be able to get this very important political result. Why? Because the Portuguese Presidency seems very determined to reach this goal and there seems to be an overall consensus among Member States. You perhaps know that we discussed the framework decision on data protection at the last formal Justice and Home Affairs Council. On this, of course, I warmly wish close cooperation with Parliament, even closer than in the past, during the coming weeks. I think we have the common goal of getting it adopted before the end of December."@en1
