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.

	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
