"Given that the level of data protection in the EU is much higher and more comprehensive than in the vast majority of third countries, it was important to enshrine the extra-territorial reach of the directive, in order to prevent European companies from being able to transmit personal data to their facilities outside Europe with offshore processing, in order to circumvent the application of the strict limits imposed by the directive.
The directive bans the transfer of personal data to any third country that does not have an adequate level of data protection. The number of countries that meet this criterion, according to the Commission, is currently very low. It is unacceptable that cases such as the agreement on the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications may occur, whereby, in the context of internal company transfers, European personal data must be made available to the US authorities because they are in US territory, negating the rights and guarantees offered by European legislation to citizens and businesses. There is an urgent need to adopt the necessary measures, in order to guarantee effective application of the rules of European data protection, and to prevent the possibility of any third-country legislation superseding Union law on protecting the interests of European citizens and companies based in the EU."@en1
