The Withdrawal Agreement
Following the UK Conservatives Party’s landslide victory
in December 2019, there were immediate implications for the
UK’s Withdrawal from the European Union, which resulted in
the UK withdrawing from the EU on 31 January 2020. With the
European Parliament’s approval of the Withdrawal Agreement,
the UK is now in a transition period until 31 December 2020. That
leaves a transition period of only 11 months! The question remains:
what is next for data protection, in particular, data transfers
from the EU to the UK?
What is next?
The good news is that nothing will change until the end of the
transition period. GDPR will continue to apply in the same way as
it does now.
