Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross issued the following statement on the July 16 ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Schrems II case.

"While the Department of Commerce is deeply disappointed that the court appears to have invalidated the European Commission's adequacy decision underlying the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, we are still studying the decision to fully understand its practical impacts," said Secretary Wilbur Ross. "We have been and will remain in close contact with the European Commission and European Data Protection Board on this matter and hope to be able to limit the negative consequences to the $7.1 trillion transatlantic economic relationship that is so vital to our respective citizens, companies, and governments. Data flows are essential not just to tech companies-but to businesses of all sizes in every sector. As our economies continue their post-COVID-19 recovery, it is critical that companies-including the 5,300+ current Privacy Shield participants-be able to transfer data without interruption, consistent with the strong protections offered by Privacy Shield."

Developments That Matter

Mask Requirements Across America

A broad consensus has emerged that wearing masks is effective in minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Yet, debate and politicization of mask-wearing continues to threaten the reopening of our economy.

In an attempt to curb the recent spike in cases, some governors have issued orders requiring masks to be worn in public, leading to an inconsistent patchwork of rules across counties and states yet again. This interactive map from the U.S. Chamber shows how this patchwork undermines consumer confidence and slows the recovery of economic activity. 


New Normal? The Most Effective Ways to Communicate Change To Your Employees

Research suggests that miscommunication costs small businesses an average of $420,000 per year. That's a staggering economic loss attributed to ineffective communication. During periods of rapid change, communication becomes even more important. The chance for misunderstanding, broken trust, and low morale gets compounded if your team is communicating poorly during times of change. Here's how to best communicate change to your employees to reduce uncertainty and frustration.


Chamber Outlines Priorities for Next Round of Coronavirus Relief Legislation

The Chamber's CEO Tom Donohue sent a letter today to congressional leaders urging further economic relief to families, businesses, and communities as Congress begins to draft the next round of coronavirus relief legislation.


1.3 Million Americans Filed for Unemployment Last Week

Initial unemployment claims remain stubbornly high. According to the Department of Labor today, initial claims were 1.3 million last week. That is just 10,000 fewer than the week before. It is the 15th straight week of declines. Claims have fallen more than 5.5 million since their peak in late March. In total, more than 51 million Americans have filed claims since the COVID-19 shock hit.


Chamber's Bradley Talks COVID-19 Guidance for Business and Addressing Inequality

"A local-based guidance approach is really the best way to go," said Bradley. "It has to recognize that a construction site is not the same as an office building, that a restaurant is not the same as a retail store, and we have to adjust accordingly. If we give broad parameters, if we allow governors and local public health departments to adjust them based on local conditions and to change them as necessary, then we'll do a lot better job in protecting workers."

BBB Tip: Scammers steal addresses of empty homes for rental cons, phony stores and more
 
For years, BBB has warned consumers against doing business with callers and online companies who don't have a valid physical address. Scammers, never easily deterred, have found a way to associate an address with their shady dealings, and this has led to the birth of even more scams.
