New Standard Contractual Clauses for Transfer of Personal Data outside the EEA – Getting Warmer by the Day Thursday, May 20, 2021
We are one (
penultimate) step closer to the final adoption of new Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) by the European Commission.
The final version of a long overdue update to the 2004 (in case of controller-to-controller)/2010 (in case of controller-to-processor) model clauses which companies use to safeguard personal data transfers to controllers/processors outside the EEA under Article 46.2(c) of the GDPR, has cleared one of its final hurdles.
Today, the Article 93 Committee, consisting of the representatives of EU governments, unanimously approved new draft SCCs proposed by the Commission.

The UK became a “third country” for data flows from the EU
Transitional provisions have been applied to allow data flows between the UK and the EU. The EU-UK Trade and Co-operation Agreement agreed on December 24, 2020 included a “bridge period” of four to six months to allow for the EU Commission to adopt an adequacy decision under the GDPR for the UK
