Despite the LED being transposed into various European countries’ national laws, including the UK’s in May 2018, the EDPB publication marks the first time the body has broached the topic of LED adequacy, which the UK needs if it wants to continue receiving law enforcement data from the EU.
Specifically, the EDPB found the “standard of essential equivalence” Schrems II required for data adequacy decisions under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) also applies in a similar manner to the law enforcement sector, which means EU citizens’ data being handled under the directive must be given the same level of protection when it is sent overseas as it receives within the EU.
