Reacting
to
the
worldwide
debate
on
mass
surveillance
,
the
European
Union
(
EU
)
did
not
speak
with
one
voice
.
The
first
institutional
position
came
from
the
European
Commission
,
with
its
Communications
to
the
European
Parliament
and
the
Council
on
the
Functioning
of
the
Safe
Harbour
from
the
Perspective
of
EU
Citizens
and
Companies
Established[20
]
,
and
on
“
Restoring
Trust
in
EU
-
US
data
flows”[21
]
,
both
of
27
November
2013
.
Following
the
Schrems
judgment
by
the
Court
of
Justice
,
the
Commission
delivered
a
Communication
to
the
European
Parliament
and
the
Council
on
the
Transfer
of
Personal
Data
from
the
EU
to
the
United
States
of
America
under
Directive
95/46
/
EC

November

,
insisting
that
a
renewed
and
sound
framework
for
transfers
of
personal
data
to
the
United
States
remains
a
key
priority
for
the
Commission
,
but
at
the
same
time
identifying
alternative
,
e.g.
contractual
,
tools
authorising
data
flows
by
companies
for
lawful
data
transfers
to
third
countries
such
as
the
United
States
.
