New US Executive Order on EU-US data transfers unlikely to satisfy EU law

I think the EU will accept this. Geopolitically, they are in a bad spot, relying heavily on US shipments of natural gas. With the Nord Steam explosions, even if the EU and Russia reached a deal, there would still be a huge delay in gas shipments.

Basically, I do t think the EU has much choice.

Two previous agreements were accepted by the EU but then rejected by the EU's highest courts when the organisation behind the linked article sued for breach of data protection regulations.

Right now there is no agreement and the world hasn't ended, so certainly no obligation to accept it.

We can't use google analytics for example.

This might actually be the plan. The EU accepts proposal after proposal, knowing full well that they all are illegal. Each proposal limits the GDPR impact for about 2 years, the time needed to do the whole legal dance. Then the next proposal comes along, starting it all again. This way, you push the problem far enough in the future that a next political generation has to deal with it.

The EU has separation of powers.

I'm sure the executive, the Commission would love to accept it. I doubt the judiciary will though, because I don't think it'll be compatible with EU law.
