Bridge Over Troubled Water - Brexit Agreement Solves Issue of Data Transfer, for Now | Locke Lord LLP

On 30 December, with 24 hours to spare, the EU and UK signed a Trade and Cooperation Agreement, setting out their future relationship following Brexit. 
Trumpeted as the most comprehensive international trade deal ever reached, the 1246 page Brexit Deal Agreement effectively keeps the status quo on personal data transfer for a six month 
bridging period.  This allows organizations to continue freely transferring such data from the EU to the UK, while the EU takes a decision on whether to grant the UK longer term 
adequacy status. 
Pessimists might see this solution as merely kicking the can down the road, but, at the risk of mixing metaphors, there seems to be light at the end of this particular tunnel with a positive adequacy decision likely before the parties run out of bridge.
