The EDPB and EDPS have adopted joint opinions on two sets of contractual clauses (SCCs).

Key Points:

The EDPB and EDPS have adopted joint opinions on two sets of contractual clauses (SCCs).
One opinion on the SCCs for contracts between controllers and processors and one on the SCCs for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
Andrea Jelinek, Chair of the EDPB, said: The EDPB and EDPS welcome the controller-processor SCCs as a single, strong and EU-wide accountability tool that will facilitate compliance with the provisions under both the GDPR and the EUDPR.
Moreover, we hope these SCCs will ensure further harmonisation and legal certainty for individuals and their personal data.
In general, the EDPB and the EDPS are of the opinion that the draft SCCs present a reinforced level of protection for data subjects.
In particular, the EDPB and the EDPS welcome the specific provisions intended to address some of the main issues identified in the Schrems II judgment.
In addition, the SCCs should include a clear distribution of roles and of the liability regime between the parties.
