<p>As provided for in the General Data Protection Regulation and Law Enforcement Directive,
the European Commission can adopt adequacy decisions in respect of the UK to allow
the continued free flow of personal data from the EU to the UK after the UK leaves
the EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Commission has not yet indicated a timetable
for this, but the UK has made it clear we are ready to begin discussions on an adequacy
assessment now. The UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 strengthened UK standards in line
with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and the Law Enforcement Directive,
providing a unique starting point for an extensive agreement on the exchange of personal
data that builds on the existing adequacy framework.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
