LIBE visits Tokyo ahead of adequacy decision
The European Commission is gearing up to propose a so-called adequacy decision with Japan to allow the free flow of data between Japan and the EU – possibly as early as January or February 2018. To assess how ready Tokyo is to meet the demands of the EU’s data protection regime, the European Parliament’s civil liberties, justice and home affairs (LIBE) committee sent a delegation to Japan from October 30 to November 3.
