It's case C-101/01, and there's a press release about it on the same web
site, release no. 96/03.
Basically it seems completely counter to our Commissioner's guidance that
putting material on a publicly accessible web site automatically counts as a
transfer abroad. What I don't understand, in that case, is whether a
transfer takes place if the material is, in fact, accessed from abroad, and
if so who makes the transfer - the Data Controller in Europe or the person
accessing the material? Or does it come down to your intention? If the
material is only aimed at a local Swedish church group (as in the case), is
it irrelevant that someone in Korea happens to stumble across it and
download the information?
