Two interesting ECHR rulings today
Catt v UK - police data held on 94 year old activist in extremism database was justified in principle, but unjustified in the circumstances. Breach of the right to privacy.
And the Amanda Knox case. Breach of the ECHR freedom from degrading treatment, and breach of the right to a fair trial.
In the Amanda Knox case there was a *procedural* breach relating to degrading treatment - ie no adequate investigation of her complaint. No funding that she actually suffered such treatment.

1/ Some thoughts about the UK "rolling over" trade agreements in a no deal scenario. These are mostly general points, but I also have a specific point about the UK/Israel agreement that's just been announced.
2/ So far 'roll-over' FTAs have been announced with Switzerland and Israel, and agreement to roll over mutual recognition treaties has been announced with Australia and New Zealand. The DTI says Mr Fox is meeting with Canada, Colombia and others in Davos: gov.uk/government/new…
3/ Unfortunately the text of these treaties is not available, so they can't be compared with the comparable EU treaties now in force. But since the intention is to retain (for now) the status quo, the claim by the DTI (and Israeli govt) that they will "boost" trade is misleading.

EU data protection and external trade
Commission adopts adequacy decision on EU/Japan data protection flows
Full text: ec.europa.eu/info/sites/inf…
Press release: europa.eu/rapid/press-re…
Factsheet: ec.europa.eu/info/sites/inf…
Q and A: europa.eu/rapid/press-re…
The data protection adequacy decision is technically separate from the EU/Japan free trade agreement that comes into force next week, but is implicitly linked to it politically - and note that it's reciprocal, data flows in both directions are simplified -
Compare to Brexit
Under the withdrawal agreement EU data protection law still applies to UK during transition period, & an adequacy decision process would be started.
If no deal, no adequacy decision, although this limits data flows, not bans them - p 11: ec.europa.eu/transparency/r…

Morning campers, I’ll be live tweeting from the UK parliamentary hearing into @Facebook, misinformation and fake news today. Here’s what you need to know:
Lawmakers from nine countries are here in London to gripe about why Zuckerberg didn’t show up to speak to them. Expect a lot of that, plus Richard Allan, FB’s VP of “policy solutions,” to do a lot of apologizing
Nominally, this hearing is tied to @DamianCollins’ ongoing “fake news” investigation, which has led UK officials traveling to the US for hearings (on taxpayers £). But to be clear, they have no power to actually legislate

I did a quick explainer for @prospect_uk on how #Brexit may affect #VAT, both domestically and in relation to EU-UK trade. Quick thread on some of the key points: prospectmagazine.co.uk/economics-and-…
1/ The UK, like all other EU member states, currently is part of the common EU VAT area. While the EU does not prescribe exact VAT rates, it put in place certain guidelines, e.g. a minimum standard rate of 15%, or limits on granting of reduced rates and exemptions.
2/ Leaving the EU presumably means leaving its VAT area (Monaco currently only non-EU state that is a member). This would have a range of serious implications, both positive and negative.

(Though some trade experts expect EU would offer UK continued membership, if asked.)

Knowledge, they say, is power

I'm going to do my best to explain the biggest, most important thing Europe does together - Common Standards
There's pretty much nothing you eat, use, sniff or sit on which isn't regulated, made safe and good by EuroNorms.

Hardly heard of them? They work pretty much perfectly. And working perfectly isn't news. So they get ignored. Like your bowels, or, indeed the EU
The 2000-odd volume European Standards library of how-to-do-stuff is set by c50,000 people working with the Standardization Committee (CEN)

If you're a European Country - EU or not - your National Standards Agency is part of CEN cen.eu/Pages/default.…
