Trade, Cross-Border Data, and the Next Regulatory Frontier : Law Enforcement and Data Localization Requirements (English)

Policy-makers and regulators are striving to tackle the challenges brought by the recentexponential growth of cross-border data. One sensitive policy concern is how to ensure accessto data by law enforcement, which has led countries to impose data localization requirements or other heavy-handed responses. Existing regulatory tools are poorly equipped to address these challenges of the digital age. Innovative regulatory solutions, focused on cooperation and the recognition that firms may be required to produce data regardless its physical location, can help bring a balance between free data flows and the need to ensure effective law enforcement.
