Advocate general thinks Standard Contractual Clauses are valid for data transfers out of EU
Henrik Saugmandsgaard Oe, advocate general to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), in his opinion issued yesterday said the use of so-called standard contractual clauses by Facebook and other firms to transfer information abroad is “valid.”
His non-binding opinion is not a ruling as such, but legal experts say opinions from the advocate general are typically followed by the court in a majority of cases. The CJEU will rule on the case in the coming months.
