EDPB Gives the Green Light to the Commission’s Draft UK Adequacy Decisions
On 13 April 2021, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) adopted two Opinions on the draft UK adequacy decisions: (i) Opinion 14/2021 for transfers of personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); and (ii) Opinion 15/2021 for transfers of personal data under the Law Enforcement Directive (LED).
Whilst the Opinions have not yet been published, the EDPB has confirmed in a press release that it has identified “many aspects [of the UK data protection framework] to be essentially equivalent ” to the EU data protection framework.
