Released OECD report Moving forward on Data Free Flow with Trust: New evidence and analysis of business experiences

On 27 April 2023, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released a report titled "Moving forward on data free flow with trust: New evidence and analysis of business experiences", which focuses on private-sector perspectives on privacy and data protection regulations for cross-border data flows. In consultations with the private sector, the OECD's report highlighted challenges faced by businesses related to differing compliance standards and interoperability across countries. The OECD report notes that businesses stressed the need for greater transparency, predictability, and consistency in cross-border requirements that had a balance between certainty and flexibility, focusing on effective protection "rather than mere formal compliance". The OECD report recommendations include building a coherent landscape at the international level, providing businesses with greater legal clarity and incentives for compliance.
