UK.gov wants quick Brexit deal with EU over private data protections

The way I understand it this is the problem.

We want to agree things and so do the EU.

However for us to agree things the EU needs to know that we'll follow through with our promises. Currently that's handled by the ECJ but when we leave it won't, therefore the only proof the EU has that we are keeping to our end of all the agreements is our word.

Why would you give a foreign country that's not legally connected to you access to determine data protection laws (or any other) that effect your group of countries when they could do what they please and are not bound by those laws themselves?

Someone in government needs to pull their head out of their arse and start sorting this out.
