In addition to the European Commission, who can adopt standard contractual clauses, assuming that all required conditions are met?

According to Article 46(2)© of the GDPR, standard contractual clauses adopted by a supervisory

authority and approved by the Commission pursuant to the examination procedure referred to in

Article 93(2) can be used as a legal basis for data transfers to third countries12. This means that, in

addition to the European Commission, national data protection authorities can adopt standard

contractual clauses, provided that they meet the conditions and requirements set out in the GDPR

and obtain the approval of the Commission. The other options are not correct, as approved data

controllers, the Council of the European Union and the European Data Protection Supervisor do not

have the power to adopt standard contractual clauses under the GDPR. Reference: CIPP/E
