On 8 October 2024, the European Data Protection Board met with Commissioners and representatives of Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) from the fifteen countries having been subject to an EU adequacy decision. The meeting took place in the margins of the EDPB October’s plenary and reflects the EDPB’s commitment to international engagement.

The European Commission has so far recognised the following adequate countries:
Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Uruguay and United States.
On the agenda and main conclusions
During the meeting, the EDPB and the DPAs from the adequate countries discussed multilateral engagement on advisory work and guidelines and on enforcement cooperation.

Adequacy decisions are the result of a high degree of convergence of data protection laws and enable safer data flows. Building upon this, DPAs from adequate countries are now committed to intensify strategic discussions on enforcement cooperation.

Note to editors
Adequacy decisions are the result of a key mechanism in the EU’s data protection framework that allows the free-based flow of personal data from the EU to adequate countries, provided that the European Commission has decided that these countries ensure an adequate level of data protection. In this case, the transfer does not require any specific authorisation. Adequacy decisions promote international data transfers by not requiring companies in these countries to have Standard Contractual Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules.
