Joint industry response to the EDPB consultation on Recommendations on measures that supplement transfer tools to ensure compliance with the EU level of protection of personal data
We endorse strong protections for personal data, including when data is transferred to third countries. We believe the Recommendations are key not only to ensuring consistency of the implementation of the CJEU’s decision in Schrems II, but also to help data exporters comply with the Court’s decision. But we have substantial concerns about some potential interpretations of the Draft Recommendations. Please see our response attached.

EPIF response to the EBA call for input on bank de-risking
EPIF would like to point that that most of the main money transfer operators (MTO) providing their services in Europe have experienced the unilateral closure of their bank accounts and the refusal to offer them banking services in breach of Article 36 PSD2 in different Member States. This poses an existential threat to their activities, employees and customers in that country and the continuation of this practice threatens to undermine the AML/CFT protections in place by driving MTOs out of the market and leading customers to use unlicensed illegal channels. Moreover, this process even more accelerated in the past months with the COVID-19 crisis.
