美国和欧盟达成一项有关跨大西洋数据传递管理的新协议，此前欧洲法院曾于去年10月否决了一项类似的协议。
欧盟司法事务专员星期二宣布了这一举措，并表示她预计这项协议将于3个月内开始生效。
她说，这项协议标志着美国首次向欧盟提出“有法律约束力的保证”，确保政府官员接触私人信息将受到明确的限制和监督。
美国商务部长普利茨克星期二对记者说，这项协议对“跨大西洋的商业往来至关重要”，同时也展现了美国与欧盟的紧密关系。
The United States and European Union have struck a new deal regulating cross-Atlantic data transfers, after a European court struck down a previous agreement in October.
European Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova announced the move Tuesday, saying she expects the deal to take effect in about three months.
Jourova said the deal marks the first time the United States has given the European Union "binding assurances" that public officials' access to personal information will be subject to clear limits, safeguards and oversight.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker told reporters Tuesday that the deal is "central to transatlantic commerce" and also signals the closeness of the U.S.-E.U. relationship.
