Mr. John O'Dwyer:

Yes, the European Commission carried out the assessment. To be clear, the regulators here have an important, but not huge, role in respect of it. Obviously, we have more of a role later if something arises. The European Commission has been negotiating this adequacy agreement for a number of months, even prior to the end of the year and to the agreement being put in place. Those negotiations were stepped up dramatically from the end of December and it was then able to present the adequacy decisions on 19 February. All that assessment was carried out by the European Commission. The European Data Protection Board - ourselves - will be looking more closely at that and I presume that the member states, such as the Department of Justice, will also be looking at it.

As for how available it is, I am not sure. I do not know how much the European Commission makes available, although Ms Coogan might know a little more about this.
