question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they have taken to implement the judgment and findings of the European Court of Justice in Schrems v Data Protection Commissioner.
tabling member printed	Lord Laird
uin	HL1614
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2017 answer text <p>In October 2015, the European Commission's adequacy decision on the Safe Harbor Agreement was invalidated by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) in the Schrems case. The Court ​considered that the third country concerned must ensure an adequate level of protection safeguarded by its domestic law or international commitments, and that the reliability of such a system, in light of that requirement, is founded essentially on the establishment of effective detection and supervision mechanisms in relation to the protection of fundamental rights. ​Consequently, the Court found that the Safe Harbor Agreement failed to comply with the requirements of Directive 95/46/EC and established Human Rights law. The judgment was addressed to the Commission. The EU-US Privacy Shield decision has since replaced the Safe Harbor agreement, in providing a basis for personal data transfers from the US to the US companies certified under the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>The Information Commissioner has provided regular updates to the status of the Privacy Shield and remains an active member of the Article 29 Working Party Privacy Shield annual joint review team.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 22/09/2017 11:29:54 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>I am delighted that Yr Ysgwrn, the home of Hedd Wyn has recently reopened to the public, thanks to £2,972,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to repair and develop the buildings, and following its purchase in 2012 with money from both the Welsh Government and the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF). While funding decisions are made by the Heritage Lottery Fund independently of my Department, I am sure that Yr Ysgwrn will teach generations of visitors about Hedd Wyn’s experiences and the First World War and provide a suitable home for the related collections and archives, including Y Gadair Ddu, the 1917 National Eisteddfod chair awarded to him posthumously.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 09/10/2017 10:09:15 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
