The regime for international data transfer, as a "living organism", is constantly evolving, interacting with technological developments in order to safeguard the fundamental human right to the protection of personal data and to enhance the international flow of personal data, which is essential for the development of international trade. The case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union is playing a decisive role in this development, led by its decisions in the controversial Schrems case, which led numerous companies to a deadlock regarding data transfers to the USA, and by extension to other third countries. However, the European Union’s institutions, as well as the data protection authorities, reacted promptly and developed mechanisms to resolve this issue by implementing the new strict framework set by the Court of Justice of the European Union. In the light of the aforementioned legislative and regulatory developments at EU level, this master thesis aims to highlight the current framework for the transfer of personal data from the European Union to third countries.
