The decision is simply an agreement to agree. Official ratification is to be agreed by the EU Commissioners with the guidance of the Article 29 Working Party. Unfortunately, this is not the answer to the problems raised by the invalidation of the original Safe Harbor, especially considering that some of the strictest EU nations DPA\u2019s have announced their willingness to take active steps to stop any personal data transfers which still rely on Safe Harbor. \u201cWe are watching closely for what the Article 29 Working Party will have to say on the matter,\u201d says John Isaza, Records and Information Governance Partner at Rimon, PC.
