Seek new data deal with EU immediately, MPs tell May

The UK government should immediately open talks to secure a Data Adequacy Decision from the European Commission, MPs said in a new report published on Tuesday (2 July).

The UK has already applied the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) into its national law. But after formally leaving the EU next March, the UK will be classified as a ‘third country’, and its application of GDPR will not guarantee an adequacy decision – which determines that a third country has an adequate data protection regime, and that European personal data can be processed there.
