The Council of the European Union adopted on 2 December 2016 the decision to authorise the European Union to conclude the so-called 'Umbrella Agreement' which puts in place a comprehensive high-level data protection framework for criminal law enforcement cooperation with the United States. According to the text, the agreement improves EU citizens' rights by providing equal treatment with US citizens when it comes to judicial redress rights before US courts. |
