In response to the publication of the draft UK data adequacy decisions by the European Commission the Information Commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, said:
“The draft adequacy decisions are an important milestone in securing the continued frictionless data transfers from the EU to the UK. Today’s announcement gets us a step closer to having a clear picture for organisations processing personal data from the EU and I welcome the progress that has been made.”
Also in response to the publication, the ABI welcomed the news about one of three key post-Brexit issues that it has been campaigning on since 2016.
The ABI’s Director of Regulation, Charlotte Clark, said:
“We very much welcome the Commission’s draft decision on data adequacy to allow the continued free flow of data between the UK-EU. We have long pressed for such an approach – it is the most legally sound way of sharing personal data. We hope that the process to formally adopt the decision will be swift from here.”
