On Wednesday, December 7, 2005, the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration co-sponsored a workshop entitled "The European Union - United States Safe Harbor Framework: Bridging Differences in Approaches to Data Protection" with the EU Article 29 Working Party.

Workshop participants heard presentations from U.S. and European officials that manage the Safe Harbor, from independent recourse providers, as well as from companies experienced in adhering to the Safe Harbor principles. A comprehensive dialogue occurred to further mutual understanding of the Safe Harbor. Presentations provided by the presenters are below.
