The prospect of developing an international data privacy
regime seems low. But as Markus Heyder of the Center for Information
Policy Leadership writes, promoting interoperability between existing
national or regional standards may offer a practical near-term alternative.
"The basic idea behind interoperability," he writes "is
that different privacy regimes can be made to work together through negotiated
codes of conduct or similar schemes."
Heyder cites a recent publication by European Union authorities that
seeks to help businesses simultaneously meet the privacy requirements of the
E.U. and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation region. Heyder notes this
effort may stimulate similar initiatives elsewhere.
