question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate his Department has made on the potential economic cost to businesses who transfer data across borders in Europe in the event of the UK Government not reaching an adequacy decision with the EU before 29 March 2019.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>EU exports to the UK of data reliant services were worth approximately £32bn (€36bn) in 2016. This includes a diverse range of sectors such as finance, telecoms and entertainment, which benefit from the free flow of data between the UK and EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In the event of the UK reaching a final Withdrawal Agreement with the EU, data flows between the UK and the EU would continue as they do presently until the end of the Implementation Period, with no additional restrictions or requirements. The UK will continue to make the case for the European Commission to begin and finalise an adequacy assessment as soon as possible, to provide the earliest possible reassurance that data flows can continue after the Implementation Period.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>If the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 with no agreement in place regarding future arrangements for data protection, the UK would at the point of exit continue to allow the free flow of personal data from the UK to the EU. However, in the absence of an adequacy decisions organisations would have to rely on alternative transfer mechanisms to transfer personal data from the EU to the UK. More detail can be found in the government’s technical notice on data protection.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 05/11/2018 16:38:43 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

uin	186251
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The number of UK businesses that engage in data transfers with EU Member States cannot be quantified directly. However, it is in everyone’s interests that the exchange of data between EU Member States and the UK continues and is unrestricted. Data flows envelop all trade in goods and services as well as other business and personal relations. They are a key driver of global trade and the life-blood of our digital economy.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The government’s recent White Paper (available on <a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank">gov.uk</a>) sets out an ambitious future relationship with the EU on data protection. It details an agreement that builds on standard EU adequacy arrangements to provide ongoing regulatory cooperation and joined up enforcement action between UK and EU data protection authorities, as well as a clear, transparent framework to facilitate dialogue and minimise the risk of disruption to flows of personal data.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 05/11/2018 16:39:57 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
