Trilateral Committee on Transborder Data Flows

Overview
The Trilateral Committee on Transborder Data Flows was established in 2008 to further the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). In April 2008, the Statement on the Free Flow of Information (Statement) was signed by representatives from Canada, Mexico and the United States. The Statement affirms that sustained economic growth is dependent on a “transparent legal, policy and regulatory environment that permits the free flow of information across borders and facilitates its use for the conduct of trade and commerce.”
