EU/UK data flows: techUk and Syntec Numérique take action

“The UK and France are close economic partners. The ability to transfer personal data between the countries is essential for citizens and businesses on both sides of the Channel. Although the future relationship between the UK and the EU remains unclear, it is of the utmost importance to avoid an abrupt border for data transfers. A UK/EU matching agreement is by far the best solution, and we urge the governments of both countries to ensure that a matching decision is reached as soon as possible.”  Julian David, CEO of techUK

“The digitization of the economy makes data flows a central element of trade relations with the UK. Against the backdrop of the lack of progress in the Brexit negotiations, the priority lies in securing these flows. To this end, an adequacy decision must be implemented without delay.”  Philippe Tavernier, General Delegate of Syntec Numérique
