Data Governance Act: On International Transfers of Non-Personal Data and GDPR Mimesis journal article

Yuliya Miadzvetskaya

European Data Protection Law Review, Volume 9 (2023), Issue 1, Page 13 - 26

In accordance with the European strategy for data, the European Union (EU) aims to enhance the free flow of data and increase trust in data sharing mechanisms within the internal market. This ambition, however, contrasts with the EU’s more ‘protective’ approach to the governance of cross-border data flows. The high standard of data protection in the EU has resulted in a number of restrictions on transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This article explores whether and to what extent the data protection rationale impacts EU law-making on international transfers of protected non-personal data. To do so it establishes divergences and convergences between the legal design of cross-border data transfers under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Governance Act (DGA). It also critically engages with the phenomenon of GDPR mimesis, according to which new EU regulatory initiatives for technology and digital life imitate the regulatory system established by the GDPR. This article argues that EU rules on non-personal data transfers have some similarities with the GDPR international data transfers regime but that the resemblance should not be overstated. The article critically assesses GDPR mimesis as a new regulatory phenomenon and, paradoxically, provides reasons why it has benefits. Keywords: General Data Protection Regulation | Data Governance Act | GDPR Mimesis | Non-Personal Data Transfers

Case C-136/17 GC and Others v Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL) and Case C‑507/17 Google Inc v Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL), Judgements of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 24 September 2019 Google is of course no stranger to the courtrooms at the Court of Justice of the European Union. Data protection laws are far from the only EU law subject-matter on which it acts (competition policy is a sector that springs to mind). In this case-note, we combine the review of the Court’s judgements in both C-136/17 GC and Others v Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL) and C-505/17 Google Inc v Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL). Article 16 TFEU – Articles 8, 9, 12 and 14 of the Data Protection Directive – Articles 9, 10 and 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation – Articles 7, 8 and 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU
