Središnje EU tijelo za zaštitu podataka EDPB zajedno s Europskom komisijom sve je bliže odluci kojom se omogućuje prijenos osobnih podataka iz EU/EEA u Japan, kao što je isti prijenos dozvoljen samo unutar EU/EEA zemalja, te Andore, Argentine, Kanade, Izraela, Švicarske, Novog Zelanda, Urugvaja i djelomično SAD u dijelu pokrivenim EU-US Privacy Shield platformom.

Za sve ostale destinacije i dalje postoje obveze poduzimanja prethodnih radnji i provjere zadovoljavanja određenih uvjeta za prijenos osobnih podataka, među kojima je najraširenija metoda primjene Standardnih ugovornih klauzula koje možete skinuti s ovog linka:

EU-Japan draft adequacy decision The Board Members adopted an opinion on the EU-Japan draft adequacy decision, which the Board received from the European Commission in September 2018. The EDPB made its assessment on the basis of the documentation made available by the European Commission. The EDPB’s key objective was to assess whether the Commission has ensured sufficient guarantees are in place for an adequate level of data protection for individuals in the Japanese framework. It is important to recognise that the EDPB does not expect the Japanese legal framework to replicate European data protection law. The EDPB welcomes the efforts made by the European Commission and the Japanese PPC to increase convergence between the Japanese legal framework and the European one. The improvements brought in by the Supplementary Rules to bridge some of the differences between the two frameworks are very important and well received. However, following a careful analysis of the Commission’s draft adequacy decision as well as of the Japanese data protection framework, the EDPB notices that a number of concerns remain, such as the protection of personal data, transferred from the EU to Japan, throughout their whole life cycle. The EDPB recommends the European Commission to also address the requests for clarification made by the EDPB, to provide further evidence and explanations regarding the issues raised and to closely monitor the effective application. The EDPB considers that the EU-Japan adequacy decision is of paramount importance. As the first adequacy decision since the entering into application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it will set a precedent.
