Britain wants EU to accept its data protection after Brexit
Britain said on Thursday it wanted to co-operate with the European Union over data protection and have its rules accepted by the bloc after it leaves. It proposed using an “adequacy” agreement — whereby the European Commission recognizes the levels of protection provided by non-EU countries — to ensure the flow of information vital to businesses and the police was not interrupted. In the latest in a series of papers outlining its aims in Brexit negotiations, the government said Britain had been a major player in setting EU data protection rules, called GDPR, which come into force next year.
