Commission ‘not naive’ about UK’s data ambitions, Reynders assures MEPs
The European Commission is ‘not naive’ to the UK’s future ambitions in the data space and will be ‘prepared’ to suspend transfers of personal data to the country should the UK in the future diverge from EU standards, Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders has said.
In February, the Commission issued draft adequacy approval on transfers of personal data between the EU and the UK, following the latter’s decision to withdraw from the European Union. However, EU lawmakers in Brussels doubt that the UK’s future data protection landscape will be fully aligned with EU data protection standards.
