DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION INTERNAL MARKET – PRINCIPLES INFORMATION AND VERIFICATION
Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, in order to grant more the data protection and to ensure the correct application of Article 46(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, repealed with effect from 27 September 2021 Decision 2001/497/EC as regards the introduction of an alternative set of standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries and Commission Decision 2010/87/EU. Because those Decisions contain standard contractual clauses to facilitate the transfer of personal data from a data controller established in the Union to a controller or processor established in a third country that does not offer an adequate level of protection.
Furthermore, those decisions were based on the repealed Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
This Implementing Decision set out in its Annex a number of Clauses that ensure appropriate safeguards, including enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies.
