On September 3, 2020, the EU Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) on, among other things, the question of how to proceed after Schrems II. The responsible EU Commissioner and the Chairwoman of the European Data Protection Committee (EDSA) commented on the further action of their authorities. The EU Commission is currently in the process of reviewing the standard contractual clauses (SCC) and plans to revise it after the adoption procedure has been completed (EDSA opinion, Comitology procedure) to finalize a new version of the same by the end of the year. The EDSA will publish further guidelines regarding data transfers that will continue to be based on the SCC, which should serve as guidance for companies to implement such data transfers in compliance with the GDPR.
It is also expected that the FDPIC will also comment on the ruling next week.
