The European Commission has adopted a Decision setting out standard 
contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors 
(subcontractors) established in non-EU countries that are not 
recognised as offering an adequate level of data protection. The 
Decision simplifies the process for companies and organisations 
wishing or needing to transfer personal data for processing in a 
third country. In particular, the Decision offers companies a 
straightforward means of complying with their obligation to ensure 
"adequate protection" for personal data transferred to countries 
outside the EU. Use of these standard contractual clauses will be 
voluntary. Under the standard contractual clauses, an EU company 
exporting data should instruct its subcontractor to treat the data 
with full respect to the EU data protection requirements and should 
guarantee that appropriate technical and security measures are in 
place in the destination country. It complements Decision 2001/497/EC 
(IP/01/851) which laid down standard clauses for the transfer of 
personal data to controllers.
