A top court has ordered the European Union’s top executive authority to pay €400 (around $410) in damages to a German citizen for breaching its own data protection laws.

In a statement, the EU General Court said the European Commission violated the citizen’s rights by transferring some of his personal data to the United States without proper safeguards.
