Russian Government Considering Delaying Data Localization Law
A controversial data localization law in Russia that would require businesses to perform data storage and processing with servers located on Russian soil is set to go into effect on September 1, 2015, after an amendment passed late last year accelerated the law’s start date. Recently, the Association of European Businesses (AEB), an industry lobby group, raised concerns to the Russian government about industry’s ability to comply with the accelerated date. There is some indication that Russia may be considering giving businesses more time to comply.
