EDPS PUBLISHES STRATEGIC DOCUMENT FOR MONITORING EU INSTITUTIONS

30.10.2020

The European Data Protection Supervisor (“EDPS”) has issued a strategic document aiming to monitor compliance of European institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (“EUIs”) with the Schrems II Judgement in relation to transfers of personal data to third countries, and in particular, the United States. 

The goal of this publication is that ongoing and future international transfers are carried out in accordance with the EU data protection law. As known, the Judgement has far-reaching consequences on all legal tools used to transfer personal data from the EEA to any third country, including transfers between public authorities.

Besides, the EDPS has identified two priorities to address in the short-term: ongoing controller to processor contracts and/or processor to sub-processor contracts involving transfers of data to third countries, with a particular emphasis on those carried out to the United States.

You can reach the EDPS’s press release here.
