On 6 November AM, a representative of the Commission from DG CNECT will update Members on the implementation of the Free Flow Regulation, which started to apply in May 2019. The Regulation bans data localisation measures, which means that Member State governments or administrations are prohibited from setting any requirements for data to be located in a specific territory in the Union, except on grounds of public security.
The Commission published guidance on 29 May 2019 on the interaction between this Regulation and the GDPR, especially as regards datasets composed of both personal and non-personal data.
The Commission's presentation will be followed by a debate with Members.
