Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union
Impact of Brexit on Data Protection and Data Flows between the UK and the EU: Discussion
Ms Nicola Coogan:
The draft decision itself is public. It contains a good deal of information about what laws were assessed and gives the Commission's opinion on, for example, human rights and surveillance issues. It goes through a number of the laws and practices within the UK and is publicly available for anybody to read. It will give a feel for what work has been done with the Commission on the UK side. The Commission's final judgment was that it is satisfied that there are adequate levels of protection, which is what it has put to us and the EDPB to further assess.
