The Federal Trade Commission’s consumer protection chief on Wednesday trumpeted the agency’s efforts to uphold a data transfer pact between the European Union and U.S. government, as American officials pressed in Brussels to renew the agreement for a third year.

Andrew Smith, director of the FTC’s bureau of consumer protection, pointed to the recent flurry of agency enforcement actions against U.S. companies accused of making false claims about their participation in the Privacy Shield agreement, a 2016 deal that allows data transfers from Europe to U.S. companies that pledge to comply with the framework’s consumer protections.
