International cooperation on data protection and data flows

The International Digital Cooperation project contributed to the development of a secure, right-based international digital sphere, conducive to a level playing field in terms of market access and business opportunities for EU companies.

The project increased awareness and acceptance by relevant actors and in particular public authorities, civil society and businesses of personal data protection as a pre-requisite to data flows with the EU, enhanced knowledge of target groups in partner countries of the new EU personal data protection legal framework and improved coherence on data protection approaches through the development of common approaches compatible with the EU data protection model.
