Meeting with Zdravko Vukić, Director of AZOP

The topic of the meeting was AmCham’s position paper “Statement on the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) Schrems ruling, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) Recommendations 01/2020 on measures that supplement transfer tools to ensure compliance with the European Union (EU) and new Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC’s)”.

AmCham Croatia has participated in the public consultations organized by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) on “Recommendations 01/2020 on measures that supplement transfer tools to ensure compliance with the European Union (EU).

AmCham Croatia expressed its concerns on the possible adverse consequences of the Court of Justice of the European Union’s decision in the Schrems II case. The ruling created a significant level of business uncertainty in cases of international transfer of personal data. International transfers of personal data are at the heart of European economic exchange, growth and innovation. AmCham Croatia therefore urges all parties involved to adopt a balanced position on the implementation of the CJEU decision.

Representatives of the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency are aware of the consequences the Schrems II ruling has on the business community and are currently, through the EDPB, in the process of analyzing the collected comments and preparing the final Recommendation.
