[Gnso-epdp-team] Updated building block E - retention and destruction of data

In fact this raises an interesting question as processing "in accordance 
with applicable law" may not be sufficient, for example if the strict 
rules of a data protection regime the disclosing party is subject to for 
some reason does not apply to the requesting party.

The standard that we do want, and which I think is appropriate is " in 
accordance with data protection standards equal/equivalent to or greater 
than the standards applicable to the data subject and the disclosing party".

Thoughts?
