<p>The EU and the UK both have an ambition to achieve high data protection protection
standards globally. The UK demonstrated this commitment with the successful passage
of the new Data Protection Act 2018, which implements and transposes the GDPR and
Law Enforcement Directive respectively in UK law.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Act received
Royal Assent on 23 May. It further strengthens UK data protection standards, ensuring
they are fit for the modern age, and implements in full the EU’s new data protection
framework in UK domestic law. Our data protection laws will therefore be fully aligned
with the EU’s at our point of exit.</p>
