  2. Industry & AnalysisSpotlight on U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Frameworks February 5, 2014 Prepared by Office of Digital Services Industries

  3. History/Overview What is Safe Harbor? • Safe Harbor is a mechanism that allows U.S. businesses to transfer personal data to the U.S. for processing in accordance with EU and Swiss data protection requirements • Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable a natural person • Processing data is any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, blocking, erasure or destruction

  4. History/Overview Safe Harbor examples Google • Personal data received to register Google internet domains in EU member states, distribute applications and products to EEA consumers, provide data services for companies that use google products, and carry out human resource functions Facebook • Personal data received to provide web-hosting services for partners in EEA, contact corporate customers in EEA, and process Facebook users’ data from EEA and Switzerland WebFilings, LLC. • Personal data received to provide web-based cloud services for financial reporting and human resources functions for customers, to manage customer relationships and contracts, and to track and ensure payments Oclaro, Inc. • Personal data received to communicate with employees, provide employee benefits, and comply with human resource requirements and government regulations

  5. History/Overview Historyof Safe Harbor • 1995: European Commission (EC) Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC • 2000: U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework • 2009: U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework • 2014: Over 4,300 U.S. organizations have participated in Safe Harbor. Over 3,300 currently participate. Source: Future for Privacy Forum

  6. History/Overview What are the Safe Harbor Frameworks? • 7Safe Harbor Privacy Principles • Notice • Choice • Onward Transfer • Access • Security • Data Integrity • Enforcement • See the Safe Harbor website for details: http://export.gov/safeharbor/ 1 “Adequacy” determination 15 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

  7. History/Overview Safe Harbor basics • Benefits • Improved privacy practices, consumer protection • Streamlined compliance burdens for small companies • More than 60% of Safe Harbor participants are SMEs • Supports largest economic relationship that accounts for half of global economic output and one trillion dollars in goods and services trade, as well as millions of jobs on both sides of the Atlantic • EU businesses can join Safe Harbor in order to transfer personal data to subsidiaries in the U.S. • The Obligation • Self-certification is voluntary, but enforceable • Enforcement • More than 20 cases by Federal Trade Commission

  8. History/Overview The data protection divide • Comprehensive legislation • Member state Data Protection Authority (DPA) enforcement • Sector-specific legislation • Self-regulation • Effective FTC enforcement EU and Switzerland United States

  9. Implementation Who should join Safe Harbor?

  10. Implementation How do you join Safe Harbor?

  11. Implementation How does Safe Harbor apply to the “Cloud”? • Is Safe Harbor applicable to cloud service provider agreements? • Yes, Safe Harborand the Commission’s “adequacy” decisionapply to such agreements that involve the transfer of personal datafrom the EU to the U.S. • Is a cloud service provider required to enter into a contract even if it is Safe Harbor-compliant and is receiving personal data merely for processing? • Yes, the Directive requires that EU data controllersconfirm that the data processor– whether domestic or foreign – provides sufficient data protection guarantees and conclude a contract providing that the processor will act only on the controller’s instructions and in compliance with applicable data security requirements • Safe Harbor fully acknowledges this requirement • Pursuant to Safe Harbor, the contract does not require prior DPA authorization nor must it include standard contractual clauses, which are an alternative to Safe Harbor • The Department of Commerce released a document clarifying these issues in April 2013, which is available at export.gov/safeharbor

  12. Recent developments The Department of Commerce will continue working to enhance Safe Harbor’s operation and conduct outreach to provide general information, updates, and clarifications regarding Safe Harbor whenever and wherever appropriate Recent Safe Harbor developments

  13. Recent developments Proposed EU Privacy Regulation • Pending EU Privacy Regulation could impact Safe Harbor • January 2012 proposal by European Commission grandfathered Safe Harbor and other adequacy decisions • October 2013 amendment by the Parliament places a 5-year sunset on Safe Harbor and other adequacy decisions • European Council is still working on a revision • European Commission and U.S. commitment to Safe Harbor still strong • The proposed regulation is unlikely to enter into force before 2016

  14. Recent developments European Commission Safe Harbor Report

  15. Enforcement Safe Harbor enforcement

  22. Four NEI Processed Foods Trade Facilitation and Policy Initiatives* • APEC Public-Private Partnership on Food Safety/World Bank Global Food Safety Partnership • APEC Multi-Year Wine Regulatory Forum/World Wine Trade Group • Food Security/Feed the Future Initiative • Agricultural-Biotechnology * In all of these activities, ITA partners closely with U.S. regulatory and trade agencies

  23. Our APEC Partners in Food Safety

  24. Food Safety Challenge and Impact on Trade • Challenge: • Complex global food supply chain • Rising levels of food trade • Differing adherence to international agreements and lack of understanding on how to comply with them • Trade Impact: • Losses due to port delays, duplicate testing • Disproportionate impact on SMEs • Economic losses to producers in event of food recalls • U.S. reliance on foreign suppliers for safe inputs to products • Use of competent (ILAC) labs keep ingredients and products moving across borders and minimize spoilage of perishable products

  25. Assuring Safety of Food Supply Chain Through Public-Private Partnership, Capacity Building & Regulatory Dialogue • Co-chaired by China and Australia • Information Sharing/Networking • Convergence of Food Safety Standards • and Systems • Consultation to identify capacity building needs • Regulator to Regulator Capacity Building FSCF 21 APEC Regulators Goals FSCF PTIN Government, Industry, Academia, IGOs Tri-partite approach/ Extensive Network Harness cross sectoral expertise Develop and implement sustainable training modules, food safety capacity building activities and approaches, and reproducible materials to address key needs Goals

  26. Impact • Public-private partnerships share food safety information • Regulatory convergence on science-based international standards • Agreements in APEC carry over into other international fora • Fewer technical barrier to trade disputes • Prevention & management of problems in food supply chain • Entry of small farmers/producers in global food supply chains • Faster customs clearance, less time and cost wasted on duplicate testing, more time for products to be on the shelf (critical for perishable products) Safe food facilitates trade

  27. APEC Food Safety Goals for 2014-15 • Build Regulatory Cooperation • Export Certificates • Pesticide maximum residue limits • Build Food Safety Capacity Through Targeted Work Plans, Training Modules and Training Events • Risk Based Inspection • Laboratory Capacity Building • Allergens • Establish APEC as a Premiere Platform for Building a Safe and Secure Food Supply by 2020 • Food Safety/Food Security Summit September 2014 Beijing

A Global Model • MOU between APEC and World Bank in 2011 for five-year collaboration in capacity building • Led to development of Global Food Safety Partnership- anchored by a multi-donor trust fund • Included in 5 year GFSP roadmap is 3 year plan for the APEC FSCF • Commerce serves as Administrator of the APEC PTIN and on the Communications and IT working groups for the GFSP and leads USG and US industry input into GFSP direction

  30. The World Wine Trade Group (WWTG) is a group of high-level government representatives with a mutual interest in facilitating the international trade in wine. • The members of the WWTG are: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Republic of Georgia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States. • WWTG Government Website: http://ita.doc.gov/td/ocg/wwtg.htm

  31. The WWTG has negotiated 3 Treaty-Level wine agreements and one MOU: • Agreement on Mutual Acceptance of Oenological Practices • Agreement on Requirements for Wine Labeling • Protocol to the 2007 World Wine Trade Group Agreement on Requirements for Wine Labeling concerning Alcohol Tolerance, Vintage, Variety, and Wine Regions • Memorandum of Understanding on Certification Requirements • The United States is the Chair of the WWTG for the 2013-2014 year (March-March). An intercessional meeting of all the parties to be held April 10-11 in Brussels, Belgium. • ITA serves as the “Electronic Depositary” and central point of contact for WWTG matters among members.

  32. 2013-2018 APEC Wine Regulatory Forum • Multi-year proposal submitted by the United States to APEC (Jan. 2013) • 12 Co-sponsors: Australia, Canada, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Russia & Viet Nam. • The project received approval on June 14, 2013. • US$499,921 in funding over five years. • Value of wine trade in the APEC region more than tripled to $23 billion in 2012 from $7.0 billion in 2000 • China in particular tipped to become the largest wine-consuming nation within 20 years, overtaking the United States • Asia Pacific wine trade loses $1 billion a year to red tape: APEC(Jan. 4, 2014, Bangkok Post)

  33. 2013-2018 APEC Wine Regulatory Forum • Assist developing economies to implement specific, measurable, good regulatory practices. • Hands-on technical assistance activities. • Focus on capacity building. • Laboratory ring study to determine test method accuracy. • The next APEC WRF meeting will be held on the margins of the September ‘14 APEC Food Safety and Security Summit in China.

  34. Food Security The International Trade Administration’s goal in its food security activities is to: Create pathways for U.S. food and agricultural companies to have a role in food security trade talks, resulting in improved U.S. industry access to foreign governments

  35. Food Security • ITA’s Role in Food Security: Trade Solutions to Food Insecurity (Hunger). • ITA works through its Processed Foods NEI activities to support the Obama Administration’s Feed the Future (FTF) interagency initiative to alleviate food insecurity in developing countries. • ITA and NOAA represent Commerce in FTF. • ITA looks at food insecurity from trade perspective: our goal is to increase U.S. agricultural and food exports to bolster food security globally. • OHCG Priorities: • 1) Advocacy for U.S. agri-businesses through conferences and policy making. • 2) Missing Middle Financing: addressing the lack of financing options in $100k - million range, which is a barrier for developing countries wanting to purchase from U.S. suppliers. - ITA’s Consumer Goods team chairs a dedicated interagency group supporting FTF. - Partner with State for conferences - upcoming one dedicated to financing, and develop webinar for CS and other partners to expand food security visibility within ITA. - Partner to create innovative buyback/leasing model in Africa. - Partner with FAST on a SME finance matching mechanism.

  36. Agriculture Biotechnology Industry • Ag Biotech impacts the $2 trillion global food market and $60+ billion of U.S. processed foods exports • Seventy percent of all food products typically found in a U.S. grocery store incorporate ag-biotechnology • Two million farmers and 1.4 million jobs associated with the processed foods industry are supported by ag-biotech. • The U.S. is the global headquarters for six leading companies in the ag-biotech industry, with all six of the leading companies (three U.S. companies: Dow AgroScience; Dupont-Pioneer; and Monsanto, and three EU companies: BASF; Bayer Crop Science; and Syngenta). • The U.S. is the top producer of ag biotech products, with more than half of global production, followed by Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and China.

  37. U.S. Ag Biotech Industry Trade Concerns • Not everyone in the U.S. and around the globe supports Ag Biotech and/or ag-biotech science, including many of our trading partners. • In many countries (e.g., most members of the EU and numerous African and some Asian countries) regulation of ag biotech creates trade barriers and trade problems for U.S. exporters (e.g., seeds, ingredients for food products, such as corn and soybeans, cottonseed and other food oils, and finished products). • The establishment of regulations on ag biotech products, labeling issues (i.e., laws that require food products to be labeled “GMO”), and de facto bans on certain food products and other trade barriers that are not based upon science. • Regulations and laws on ag biotech that impact intellectual property rights (IPR) and results in lost royalties, lost license fees, legal costs of IPR policing and enforcement, costs of market abandonment due to lack of local IPR protection, etc. • Regulators around the world are not considering how regulations could impact and/or impact trade of ag biotech products.

  38. ITA’s work with US Industry & Other USG Agencies • As a non-regulator of Ag Biotech* DOC, ITA, and the Consumer Goods Team works with the U.S. ag-biotech industry to ensure their trade concerns are appropriately considered by other USG agencies and our trading partners. • ITA’s Consumer Goods Team works closely with several trade associations and organizations that represent the Ag-biotech industry including: IFT (Institute of Food Technologists), GMA (Grocery Manufacturers Association), and BIO (Biotechnology Industry Association) and meets with these groups often. • Since it is not a regulatory agency, ITA is uniquely able to work to help ensure U.S. industry concerns are considered under multilateral agreements such as the UN Cartagena Biosafety Protocol and the establishment of Codex Alimentarious voluntary standards. * USG regulators of ag biotech include USDA-APHIS and FSIS, EPA and FDA

  39. ITA Consumer Goods Team’s work w/ USG Interagency on Ag-Biotech Issues ITA and the Consumer Goods Office represents the Department of Commerce and ITA at USG interagency meetings on ag biotech. The Consumer Goods Office has participated as a UN Delegate and a member of the USG Delegation at international meetings and multilateral negotiations including Codex and the UN Convention on Biodiversity’s Meetings of the Parties to the Cartagena Biosafety Protocol (COP-MOP). The 7th COP-MOP is scheduled to meet in South Korea in October, 2014. ITA works to ensure U.S. industry concerns are considered by APEC and the OECD which are producing guidance documents, hosting workshops, and doing other work that influences global regulations of ag-biotechnology. ISO is working on standards regarding testing and measurement methods (ISO TC 34/SC 16).
