This Precedent provides a template for ‘module three’ of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (the Model Clauses or SCCs) adopted under Commission Implementing Decision ( EU) 2021/914 (the 2021 EU SCCs).

As the SCCs must be governed by, and fall under the jurisdiction of, an EU Member State, Ireland can be a...
