EUROPEAN COMMISSION PUBLISHES DRAFT UK ADEQUACY DECISIONS

19 February 2021

As a beginning of a process, the European Commission has today published two adequacy decisions for transfers of personal data to the United Kingdom, one under the General Data Protection Regulation and the other for the Law Enforcement Directive.

Until then data flows between the European Economic Area and the UK continue and remain safe thanks to a conditional interim regime that was agreed in the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. This interim period expires on 30 June 2021.

We, as Data Protection Compliance Team of Zumbul Attorneys-at-Law, will share our detailed article on this topic soon.

You can reach the Draft decision on the adequate protection of personal data by the United Kingdom - General Data Protection Regulation here.

You can reach the Draft decision on the adequate protection of personal data by the United Kingdom: Law Enforcement Directive here.

You can reach the ICO statement in response to the publication of a draft adequacy decision from the European Commission here.
