When assessing adequacy, the European Commission considers:
- A.Only the country's GDP, under Article 65, which gives the European Data Protection Board an advisory role only and no power to adopt a binding decision
- B.The rule of law, respect for human rights, relevant legislation, data protection rules, and the existence of an independent supervisory authority
- C.Only trade agreements, under Article 45(3), which makes an adequacy decision permanent and removes the Commission's power to review, amend or repeal it
- D.Only the number of data protection laws
Why B is correct
Article 45(2) lists factors including rule of law, human rights, legislation, supervisory authorities, and international commitments the country has entered into.
