@TheProgressives Team on the European Health Data Space last trilogue
#EHDS

[S&D Group @TheProgressives]

This decision shows a lack of real reform.

The EU-US Data Privacy Framework fails to address the problems with transatlantic data transfers and leaves personal data vulnerable to mass surveillance.

Again @EUCourtPress will have to act to protect Europeans.

[Adam Bowering @Adam_Bowering]

An inevitable final judgement but a reminder of all the rights and privileges that UK nationals have lost because of #Brexit

[Steve Peers @StevePeers]

CJEU, Brexit law

New judgment: challenge to EU conclusion of the withdrawal agreement for "removing" EU citizenship from UK nationals dismissed - loss of EU citizenship was due to UK decision to leave the EU, not the withdrawal agreement

Petition: Do not reform UK data protection laws (GDPR) https://t.co/oURXEhqe0n

[Slovenia to the EU @SLOtoEU]

#Trilogue | 🥳We reached a political agreement with @Europarl_EN & @EU_Commission on aligning EU criminal law instruments with new personal data protection rules i.e. aligning EU Investigation Order Directive and FD on Joint Investigation Teams with Law Enforcement Directive. 👏

[Adam Bowering @Adam_Bowering]

Timely example of why the UK would do well to keep data protection rights to review automated decisions. #GDPR #AI https://t.co/E743i5Kp2l

[Marina Kaljurand MEP @MarinaKaljurand]

It is crucial that we treat this scandal with the appropriate level of urgency it deserves. While the technology cannot be rolled back, we can take steps to regulate this surveillance industry & set a global standard/example. #PegasusProject

[Adam Bowering @Adam_Bowering]

Happy to contribute to this important and timely @UKTradeBusiness discussion on the issue of UK data adequacy and the dangers of abandoning GDPR protections.

Delighted to have an article re-published by the @UCL_EI on the @Europarl_EN objection to draft decisions on UK adequacy and what this means for data transfers long-term. https://t.co/ajNjUeLdzs

[Adam Bowering @Adam_Bowering]

What are the implications for civil liberties and business in the UK after the @Europarl_EN objection to UK data adequacy and the latest judgements on mass surveillance and the immigration exemption?

I took a look in my latest piece for @TheRegister. https://t.co/RcJ7opzylD

[The Register @TheRegister]

European Parliament's data adequacy objection: Doubts cast on UK's commitment to data protection https://t.co/WshrtiF44L

[Adam Bowering @Adam_Bowering]

Schrems II resolution adopted by large majority by @Europarl_EN calling for "meaningful reforms" to US surveillance before adopting adequacy decision & for infringements against Irish DPC for not enforcing #datap https://t.co/RkXnO09zKf

[Euractiv @Euractiv]

MEPs call on the European Commission to open an infringement procedure against Ireland for failing to endorse #GDPR. The Irish data protection authority reported about 10,000 complaints last year, but made no formal decision on any of them.

[LIBE Committee Press @EP_Justice]

📢 @EP_Justice voted (37 for, 30 against, 1 abstention) to adopt a resolution on the adequacy of data protection in the UK 🇬🇧. Next, it will be discussed in the May #Eplenary .
Press release coming soon.

[Adam Bowering @Adam_Bowering]

And, as pressure grows to improve the deal, @Europarl_EN will continue to be most receptive forum for amending agreement in interests of citizens on both side of the Brexit divide.

[Adam Bowering @Adam_Bowering]

TCA was always going to be formally adopted by @Europarl_EN but scrutiny process at least allowed many issues, including those affecting human and citizens' rights, law enforcement and asylum, to be brought to light. https://t.co/rqK89P1m6R

[Adam Bowering @Adam_Bowering]

Very pleased to be re-published by the @LexisNexisUK legal research service: EU ratification enables much needed scrutiny of the Brexit deal https://t.co/wKIJR3mfNz

[Marina Kaljurand MEP @MarinaKaljurand]

Big day for #data issues in @ep_justice today. I will be speaking in debates with @dreynders on alignment with the Law Enforcement Directive & #UK data transfers this morning, and on the Data Governance Act #DGA this afternoon. Follow 🔴 LIVE 👇 https://t.co/p3DFICVMs5
