Like repor­ted by Dr. Car­lo Piltz on his blog dele­ge­da­ta, the Euro­pean Com­mis­si­on is curr­ent­ly con­side­ring an adap­t­ati­on of the ade­qua­cy decis­i­ons for third count­ries and for the EU Stan­dard Con­trac­tu­al Clau­ses. This fol­lows from the agen­da of the Artic­le 31 Com­mit­tee under Artic­le 31 of the Data Pro­tec­tion Direc­ti­ve for Octo­ber 3, 2016.

One of the agen­da items is:
