Article summary

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) issued an opinion on 5 May 2025 supporting the European Commission's proposal to extend the UK's data protection adequacy decisions under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) and LED until 27 December 2025. The extension aims to accommodate the UK's ongoing Data (Use and Access) Bill legislative process, allowing time for assessment of the updated legal framework. The EDPB notes this is an exceptional, one-time extension to the current decisions that were set to expire on 27 June 2025.
