ITEM [2.3.1] - 12/02 INFO NOTE - Information on BCRs for companies which have
ICO as BCR Lead Supervisory Authority – Discussion and Adoption
Strategic Advisory Expert Subgroup
I. Background
Taken into account the recent developments regarding Brexit, the January plenary decided to
give priority to Brexit questions. The ITS had already received a mandate to work on BCRs for
companies which have ICO as BCR lead supervisory authority.
II. Current state of play
The ITS held a meeting on the 29 January 2019 and drafted a note relating to the impact of
the Brexit for BCRs where the ICO is involved in case of a no deal scenario. This was added as
an annex to the Information note on data transfers after Brexit prepared by the
. Members
discussed - during the Strategic Advisory expert SG (SAESG) held on the 31 January 2019 - the
Information note, including the annex provided for by the ITS. The SAESG were in favor to
make two separate documents in view of the plenary. They decided to raise this question at
the plenary meeting (see INFO NOTE - Information note on GDPR data transfers – discussion
and adoption).
III. Discussion points
The Strategic Advisory expert subgroup members discussed the content of the note and the
Members will find the
proposal under option 2 of the note.
