As previously reported in the IAJGS Records Access Alert, the Irish High Court decided in April to send the case on whether the EU-US data transfer agreement, Privacy Shield, meets EU standards to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) . Facebook tried to delay the referral by appealing the decision to the Irish High Court. On May 2 the Irish High Court refused Facebook's request, and Facebook said it would ask permission from the Irish High Court to appeal the decision to the Irish Supreme Court. The appeal will not delay the ECEU's hearing of the case.
The judge of the Irish High Court, Justice Caroline Costello said, "The prejudice suffered… is potentially very grave… the data of millions of data subjects may continue to be processed unlawfully.” The case brought by Austrian Max Schrems, challenges the technology used by firms such as Facebook, Google and Apple to transfer data outside the European Union saying the "“standard contractual clauses” (SCCs) granted by the Commission to transfer data do not give EU consumers sufficient protection from US surveillance." If this data transfer agreement is determined by the Court of Justice of the European Union to be invalid, it will affect thousands of companies who are certified under the agreement.
Facebook argues that the case is about a contractual tool endorsed by the European Commission and used by thousands of companies in the European Union. Facebook also contends that important protections and changes have been made since the case first was brought and the case does not take those changes into account. Further the Irish High Court is basing its referral on the case based on interpretation of US law that has changed. Justice Costello accused Facebook of deliberately delaying the procedure to make their bid moot as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes effective May 25, 2018. Evidently midway through a multi-week ruling in March 2017 she had asked if the GDPR would render the case moot.
Justice Costello concluded: “In my opinion very real prejudice is potentially suffered by Mr. Schrems and the millions of EU data subjects of the matter is further delayed by a stay as sought in this case. Their potential loss is unquantifiable and incapable of being remedied. I am of the opinion that the court will cause the least injustice if it refuses any stay and delivers the reference immediately to the court of Justice. I so order.”

History
The case was brought by Austrian Max Schrems against Facebook several years ago, regarding the transfer of European Union user’s data to the United States. The case was to determine whether European internet users’ data are sufficiently protected from U.S. surveillance. The reason the case was heard in Ireland is that Facebook's European headquarters are in Ireland and therefore, the Irish Data Protection Commission has jurisdiction.
Max Schrems is the advocate that brought the case on the issue of the "Safe Harbor" 15 –year agreement between the EU-and United States and which the CJEU invalidated the agreement affecting thousands of companies and their data transfer (October 2015). In that case Mr. Schrems, litigated against Facebook when he accused Facebook of compiling its users’ personal data in violation of Austrian and EU legislation.

The (US) National Archives has redesigned its Museum website to better meet its visitor needs. The intent is for the visitor to get information they want in one click or less. Mobile devices are very important as over 40 percent of the visitors access the Museum website on a mobile device, therefore the website was optimized for such use. The website is: https://museum.archives.gov/
For accessing the records that genealogists and historians usually access, continue using the regular website: https://www.archives.gov/
To read more about the redesigned Museum website see:
On June 16, 2017 the Quebec Assemblée Nationale passed Bill 113, An Act to amend the Civil Code and other legislative provisions as regards adoption and the disclosure of information. It becomes effective on June 16, 2018. It is: Chapter in the annual volume of the Statutes of Québec: 2017, chapitre 12. The bill may be read at: http://www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.qc.ca/dynamicSearch/telecharge.php?type=5&file=2017C12A.PDF
The website is also in French and can be accessed also at http://www.assnat.qc.ca/en/travaux-parlementaires/projets-loi/projet-loi-113-41-1.html and clicking on "Français" at the top next to the contact us bar.
The new law, when it goes into effect, will allow social service agencies to share information found in adoption files held in regional agencies throughout the province. Adoptees will have the right to know their original first and last name—not access to their full file. If the biological parents have been deceased for one year or longer, then their first and last names will also be available. If the parent has not been deceased for at least one year then the adoptee must wait until the year from death before being granted access to the parents' names.
If both the birth parents and the adopted child want to learn about each other's identity and medical records and establish contact that becomes permissible only if both parties agree and it has not been vetoed access. Both parties are able to register a veto within 18 months of the law passing or for future adoptions, within a year of the child's birth. If a veto is registered the file remains closed and contact not possible. Minors' identification will not be disclosed until the minor reaches age of a majority or they decide otherwise.
Children and grandchildren of an adoptee who had died are not eligible for access to the file.
Information on researching adoption and biological history, biological parents or about an adopted biological child may be found in English and French at: https://tinyurl.com/ybb6voyf
