On 04 June 2021, the EU Commission adopted two new sets of standard contractual clauses (SCC): one set for the transfer of personal data from the EU to third countries (Cross-Border SCC) and another set addressing certain clauses in controller-processor data processing agreements (DPA-SCC). The adoption was made some seven months after initial drafts of both SCC had been published by the EU Commission for public consultation (see GT blog post from 18 November 2020).
