Mr. John O'Dwyer:

Assuming the agreement on the adequacy decisions goes through the various steps, there is a good chance it will be adopted. To reiterate, the process is starting from a good point. The GDPR had already been brought into the UK's national legislation word for word and that country also has a regulatory body in the form of the Information Commissioner's Office, ICO. Up to a couple of months ago, therefore, the UK had exactly the same procedure in place as any EU country concerning legislation on privacy and associated controls. This process is starting from a positive position therefore and for that reason I think there is a good chance that it will be adopted.
