Paragraph 5 of Schedule 7 inserts Article 45C into the UK GDPR, replacing section 17B of the DPA 2018 which has been omitted by paragraph 13 of Schedule 9.
	Article 45C(1) requires the Secretary of State to monitor developments in third countries and international organisations that could affect decisions to make regulations approving transfers of personal data under Article 45A, or decisions to amend or revoke such regulations. Ongoing monitoring of countries' relevant laws and practices enables the Secretary of State to respond to any developments that might affect decisions to make, amend or revoke regulations under Article 45A. Such monitoring might include, for example: engaging in dialogue with country representatives; obtaining information from HMG Embassies or High Commissions; commissioning and/or reviewing third party reports; and engaging with the Commissioner.
	Article 45C(2) provides that if the Secretary of State becomes aware that the data protection test is no longer met in relation to a country or international organisation to which transfers have been approved, the Secretary of State must either amend or revoke the regulations approving transfers to that country of international organisation. For example, an amendment may limit the types of transfer that are permitted by the regulation. If there is no way of amending the regulation to meet the data protection test the Secretary of State must revoke it. If the regulations are revoked the transfer of personal data to that third country or international organisation may still take place where other appropriate legal bases, as set out in Article 46 and Article 49 apply.
	Article 45C(3) provides that when regulations are amended or revoked, the Secretary of State must enter into consultations with the third country or international organisation concerned with a view to improving the protection provided to data subjects in relation to their personal data.
	Article 45C(4) requires the Secretary of State to publish a list of third countries and international organisations which are for the time being approved by regulations under Article 45A. The Secretary of State is also required to publish a list of the third countries and international organisations which have been, but are no longer, approved by such regulations. The government intends to publish this information on GOV.UK. Article 45C(5) requires the lists published under Article 45C(4) to specify where only certain transfers to that country or international organisation are approved.
