(...) the European Commission successfully concluded its review of 11 existing
adequacy decisions.
These decisions had been adopted under the EU data
protection legislation that preceded the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR).
In its report, the Commission finds that personal data transferred from the European Union to Andorra, Argentina, Canada, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Israel, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland and Uruguay,
continues to benefit from adequate data protection safeguards.
Therefore, the adequacy decisions adopted for these 11 countries and
territories remain in place and data can continue to flow freely to
these jurisdictions.
The review has demonstrated that the data
protection frameworks in these countries and territories have further
converged with the EU's framework and strengthened protection of
personal data in their jurisdictions.
The GDPR has inspired positive
changes such as the introduction of new rights for individuals, the
reinforcement of the independence and powers of authorities responsible
for the enforcement of privacy laws or the modernisation of rules on
international transfers. (...)
