Preliminary draft of a Commission decision under Article 26(4) of the
Directive 95/46/EC on standard clauses for the transfer of personal
data to third countries that do not provide an adequate level of
protection for the processing of personal data
CALL FOR COMMENTS
The services of the European Commission are preparing a Commission
decision under Article 26 (4) of the Directive 95/46/EC with the
assistance of the Working Party on the protection of individuals with
regards to the processing of personal data (established by Article 29
of the Directive) and the Committee established by Article 31 of the
Directive. The objective of this decision is to recognise model
contractual clauses, of which a draft is attached hereto, as
providing adequate safeguards to the purpose of an international
transfer of personal data.
The aim of this draft Commission decision would be to facilitate the
transfer of personal data to third countries that do not provide
adequate protection for the processing of personal data while
providing sufficient safeguards with respect to the protection of the
privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and as
regards the exercise of the corresponding rights. Therefore, it would
be an useful tool for companies interested in the transfer of
personal data outside of the European Union and the European Economic
Area.
The European Commission would like to receive comments to these draft
model clauses, in particular from European business and consumer
associations. Those interested are invited to send their comments to
the following e-mail: MARKT-E1@cec.eu.int before the 16th of October.
