Summary

Key Points:

In addition, the content of the BCRs in question may need to be amended before the transition period ends, as these BCRs generally contain references to the UK legal order.
This also applies to BCRs already approved under Directive 94/46/EC.BCR holders who have the UK SA as their BCR Lead SA need to put in place all organisational arrangements to identify a new BCR Lead SA in the EEA.
The change of BCR Lead SA will have to take place before the end of the Brexit transition period.
The latter will then take over the application and formally initiate an approval procedure subject to an opinion of the EDPB.
