The European Chamber is pleased to have the opportunity to provide inputs on Provisions on Regulating and Promoting Cross-border Data Flows(Draft for Comments). The provisions further clarify the regulatory scope of cross-border data transfer on the basis of the previously enacted measures on cross-border data transfer, and also provides clearer guidance on the scenarios and thresholds for conducting security assessment and concluding standard contracts for personal information export. We are pleased to note that the provisions have released a signal to relax the prior supervision of some data exit scenarios. As a bridge and link dedicated to promoting further development of China-Europe business, we warmly welcome such changes. Moreover, there are still some details to be supplemented and clarified by the legislators.
