EU officials hope to start new talks soon with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, whom the Senate confirmed last Tuesday and who is responsible for sealing a new trans-Atlantic data-flow deal.
It will be difficult to find a solution that protects Europeans’ data from U.S. law enforcement and intelligence authorities, EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said in an interview.
