Data Pro­tec­tion Com­mit­tee: Paper on inter­na­tio­nal appli­ca­bi­li­ty of the GDPR coming soon

The Euro­pean Data Pro­tec­tion Board (EDSA, the for­mer Artic­le 29 Working Par­ty) issued gui­dance in late Sep­tem­ber 2018 on the extra­ter­ri­to­ri­al appli­ca­ti­on of the GDPR but was not sub­se­quent­ly published. The paper was then available to the 4th ple­na­ry ses­si­on was put on the agen­da again on Novem­ber 16. The EDSA has now, on Novem­ber 20, 2018, announ­ced, the paper had been clea­ned up and would be published soon:

During the Sep­tem­ber ple­na­ry, the EDPB adopted new draft gui­de­lines, which will help pro­vi­de a com­mon inter­pre­ta­ti­on of the ter­ri­to­ri­al scope of the GDPR and pro­vi­de fur­ther cla­ri­fi­ca­ti­on on the appli­ca­ti­on of the GDPR in various situa­tions, in par­ti­cu­lar whe­re the data con­trol­ler or pro­ces­sor is estab­lished out­side of the EUinclu­ding on the desi­gna­ti­on of a repre­sen­ta­ti­ve. As the stan­dard final legal checks pri­or to publi­ca­ti­on reve­a­led that some items requi­red fur­ther dis­cus­sion, the EDPB deci­ded to dis­cuss the gui­de­lines once more during the Novem­ber ple­na­ry. The­se issues have now been ful­ly addres­sed and the gui­de­lines shall be soon published for public consultation.
