Council of Europe Suggests Convention 108+ as Schrems II Data Transfer Solution
“Convention 108+ (Convention 108 as amended by the protocol) is set to become the international standard on privacy and data protection in the digital age, and represents a viable tool to facilitate international data transfers while guaranteeing an appropriate level of protection for people globally,” say Alessandra Pierucci, Chair of the Committee of Convention 108 and Jean-Philippe Walter, Data Protection Commissioner of the Council of Europe.
“Being Party to the Convention 108+ could in the future also facilitate the case-by-case assessment that companies are required to do [following the Schrems II judgement] in the context of standard contractual clauses, regarding the essentially equivalent level of protection to be guaranteed”.
