Las transferencias internacionales en Reino Unido. Una especial referencia a las cláusulas contractuales tipo

Abstract

Both Brexit and Schrems II judgment —with far-reaching consequences- have been seen by the British government as an outstanding opportunity to capitalize on its independent status and repatriate regulatory powers in data, particularly in the area of international transferences. The UK wants to address this later issue with a large dose of pragmatism by proposing strategic data partnerships with economies of greatest international growth and, thus, securing its status as a global hub for international data flows. This approach is clearly endorsed by the new IDTA and Addendum that replace the EU estándar contractual clauses. However, these contractual arrangements signal some divergences from the European models. This departure may risk the already week relationship between the UK and the EU, specially taking into account the precarious Commission Implementing Decision of adequacy on the adequate protection of personal data by the United Kingdom.
