European Commission Publishes Draft of New Standard Contractual Clauses
On November 12, 2020, the European Commission published a draft implementing decision on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), along with its draft set of new standard contractual clauses (SCC).
The SCCs are open for public consultation until December 10, 2020, and feedback may be submitted here. The adoption process for the SCCs requires an opinion of the European Data Protection Board and the European Data Protection Supervisor, and the positive vote of EU Member States through the comitology procedure. The final SCCs are expected to be adopted in early 2021.
