European Commission publishes draft adequacy decision for Brazil
05/09/2025 | European Commission
The European Commission has published its draft adequacy decision with Brazil. The draft decision will now be sent to the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) for an opinion before a committee of member state representatives, and the European Parliament will add their input into the process.
In a statement, European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, Michael McGrath said: "Brazil has built a robust framework for safeguarding privacy and personal data, firmly anchored in the protection of fundamental rights. Strengthening partnerships with countries that uphold the highest standards of data protection is both natural and essential. Mutual adequacy decisions represent a vital step in that direction. When personal data is protected, so too are consumer rights—ensuring individuals have control, transparency, and security in their interactions with businesses and services."
