Strengthening data protection globally: The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is meeting with countries and organizations that have an adequacy decision.

Brussels, December 3rd - During its plenary meeting in December, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) held an online meeting yesterday with commissioners and representatives from national data protection authorities (DPAs) from countries and organizations that have a decision regarding adequate protection of personal data within the EU. This meeting was the second of its kind, following the first meeting in October 2024. A decision on adequacy is an important instrument in EU data protection law, enabling the free transfer of personal data from Europe to third countries or international organizations that offer an adequate level of data protection. To date, the following countries and organizations benefit from this: Andorra, Argentina, Canada, the Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, the Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, the United States, and the European Patent Office. The data protection authorities from these countries and the European Patent Office are important partners for the EDPB.
