Summary:Report published by the European Commission on 15 January 2024, setting out the findings on the first review of the adequacy decisions that were adopted on the basis of Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC. Further information:Directive 95/46/EC set up a regulatory framework seeking to strike a balance between a high level of protection for the privacy of individuals and the free movement of personal data within the European Union (EU). It set strict limits on the collection and use of personal data and demanded that each Member State set up an independent national body responsible for the supervision of any activity linked to the processing of personal data. With the entry into application of theĀ General Data Protection RegulationĀ (GDPR), a number of adequacy decisions adopted under the previous framework remained in force. The GDPR clarifies that adequacy decision are "living instruments" and requires the European Commission to periodically review these decisions. This report presents the findings of the first review of the existing adequacy decisions. It was found that personal data transferred from the EU to Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Israel, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland and Uruguay, continues to benefit from adequate data protection safeguards. |
