LONDON, Aug. 23-- The British government's latest position paper on its Brexit proposals will on Thursday outline ambitious proposals so personal data can be shared between the Britain and the European Union (EU) after Brexit. The aim of the proposals will be to chart a way for data to be exchanged in the future in a safe and properly regulated way. The latest of the series of papers looking at Britain's future partnership with the EU after Brexit details the case for a model for exchanging and protecting personal data which would be in the interests of consumers, businesses and public authorities. Britain's proposed model for the protection and exchange of personal data will reflect the uNPRecedented alignment between British and European law. It will recognize that the high data protection standards will be in place at the point of Britain's exit, planned for March, 2019. The Data Protection Bill, which is due to be laid before the British Parliament in the fall, will implement the European Union's new data protection rules, helping Britain prepare for a successful Brexit. Britain's Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEu) said Wednesday the EU data economy was estimated to be worth more than 320 billion U.S.dollars in 2017, with Britain a major contributor to this. Officials in Britain say it is thought that 43 percent of all large EU digital companies are started in Britain and 75 percent of British cross border data flows are with EU countries. |
