The transfer of personal data to the UK raises a multitude of data protection law issues and opens up the view of the key challenges of global data exchange. The study contains an overall view of the regulations on third country transfers under the GDPR and the current state of regulation in the UK. It provides an assessment as to whether and to what extent the UK provides an adequate level of protection within the meaning of the GDPR for personal data transferred from the EU and whether the EU Commission's adequacy decision under the GDPR is compliant with the CJEU’s relevant case law.

The study also looks at relevant emerging developments and the wider context of the third country regimes of the EU’s data protection regime.

Split into two parts, the book analyses the humanisation of international law in different historic...

Before doing so, Schwartmann studies the direct app...
