Cooperation at international level

The Netherlands plays a crucial role in setting standards around the processing of personal data. The government's approach to developing policy on this and establishing data protection in practice stimulates conversation at all levels of society. Here, cooperation with international organisations is an important component. To make this cooperation as efficient as possible, it is necessary to juxtapose and discuss the different views on laws and regulations from the U.S. and the Netherlands.

Panel discussion

Led by a moderator, representatives from the public sector, public institutions (SURF), business (Zoom) and academia will give their views in 60 minutes on international companies' compliance with the GDPR, the future of transatlantic data flows and the common path towards a set of privacy rules that benefits everyone.

Some topics covered during the panel discussion

  • How has the approach of international companies to data privacy changed since the adoption of GDPR?  
  • What is the future of transatlantic data flows?  
  • What are the expectations of the Dutch society from U.S. law changes that could help to strengthen the protection of  EU citizens’ data?  
  • How could companies better cooperate with Dutch authorities to create trust and confidence on data privacy issues?

Q&A

After the panel discussion, there will be half an hour to ask all your own questions to the attendees.
