On June 19, 2012, the Article 29 Working Party adopted a Working Paper (WP 195) on Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) for processors, to allow companies acting as data processors to use BCR in the context of transborder transfers of personal data, such as in the case of cloud computing and outsourcing. WP 195 includes a full checklist of the requirements for BCR for Processors and is designed both for companies and for data protection authorities.
