Recommendation 12

Paragraph: 39
The EU is the UK’s largest trading partner.
Conclusion
The EU is the UK’s largest trading partner. Given that digital trade is of particular importance to the UK and considering that free flows of data underpin digital trade, it is imperative that the Government secures a positive adequacy decision in June 2025, and accordingly that it works closely with the European Commission to that end. Furthermore, it is important that the Government ensures that it minimises the risks of a challenge to a future UK adequacy decision before the Court of Justice of the EU.
