EDPB Announces Recommendations On Schrems II Supplementary Measures

Keypoint: The EDPB's much-anticipated recommendations will help companies identify the supplementary measures they need to put into place to comply with the CJEU's Schrems II decision.

Today, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) announced that it has adopted recommendations on measures that supplement cross-border data transfer tools and recommendations on the European Essential Guarantees for surveillance measures. The recommendations - which are not yet publicly available - were adopted during the EDPB's 41st plenary session and in response to the CJEU's Schrems II ruling. Once available, the recommendations will be submitted for public consultation. As is customary, the recommendations are subject to legal, linguistic and formatting checks prior to being published on the EDPB's website.
