For the purposes of Article 36 of Directive (EU) 2016/680, the United Kingdom ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the European Union to United Kingdom public authorities responsible for the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties.

Whenever the competent supervisory authorities in Member States, in order to protect individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data, exercise their powers pursuant to Article 47 of Directive (EU) 2016/680 with respect to data transfers to public authorities in the United Kingdom within the scope of application set out in Article 1, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission without delay.
