The European Commission's high-level roundtable on safe data flows began with opening remarks from Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders about protecting privacy and facilitating safe data flows. Reynders speech covered the unprecedented level of convergence achieved by these efforts, which is particularly important for the borderless digital economy. The discussion was solution-oriented, with two themes: maximising safe data flows among jurisdictions, as a network and beyond, and supporting convergence through strengthened cooperation on enforcement matters.
Attending the Commission's first-ever high-level meeting on safe data flows included the fifteen countries and territories for which the EU has adopted an adequacy decision, along with Anu Talus, the Chair of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). Elected officials and heads of data protection authorities discussed how they can work together to take advantage of the benefits of safe and free data flows. The meeting also explored opportunities for closer cooperation on the enforcement of data protection rules.
