“It speeds up the case and therefore puts more pressure on data transfers,” Aaron Cooper, vice president of global policy at BSA, a software industry group, said of the Irish court ruling.

The ruling could ramp up efforts to implement such safeguards as European officials finalize guidance on alternative ways to comply with the bloc’s data rules in the wake of the Privacy Shield’s invalidation.
“It’s another marker that will lead to more interest on both sides of the Atlantic to find an agreement,” he said of the Irish ruling.
