跨境数据流动中的基本安全利益例外

Essential security interests exception in cross border data flow

《区域全面经济伙伴协定》首次将基本安全利益例外条款纳入跨境数据流动规则中,并不允许其他成员国提出异议。其内涵并非一成不变,但始终与一国根本的国家安全紧密相关且不具有歧视性,需要各国遵循善意原则加以合理援引,否则易造成条款的滥用。为确保我国跨境数据流动管理模式与国际规则的衔接,在加入《区域全面经济伙伴协定》后,我国需要数据分类管理制度、加强技术安全建设,实现保障本国基本安全利益与促进数据自由跨境流动的平衡状态。

For the first time,the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement has incorporated the essential security interests exception clause into the cross-border data flow rules,which does not allow other Member States to raise objections.Although its connotation is not unchangeable,it’s always closely related to a country's fundamental national security and is not discriminatory.It needs countries to follow the principle of good faith to reasonably invoke it,otherwise it is easy to cause the abuse of the clause.In order to ensure the connection between China's cross-border data flow management mode and international rules,after joining the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement,China needs to build a data classification management system,strengthen the construction of technical security,so as to achieve the balance between safeguarding the essential security interests and promoting the free cross-border flow of data.
