Paragraph 8 of Schedule 7 inserts Article 47A, which makes further provision about transfers subject to appropriate safeguards.
	New Articles 47A(1) to (3) restate existing sections 17C(1), (2) and (3) of the DPA 2018, which are omitted by Schedule 9. Previously the provisions relating to transfers subject to appropriate safeguards were found partly in the DPA 2018 and partly in Chapter 5 of the UK GDPR. The effect of the provisions in Schedule 7 and Schedule 9 are that all provisions relating to transfers subject to appropriate safeguards are now contained in Chapter 5 of the UK GDPR.
	New Article 47A(4) to (7) provides a power for the Secretary of State to make provision, by way of regulations (subject to the affirmative procedure), about further safeguards that may be relied on for the purposes of making a transfer under Article 46 (transfer subject to appropriate safeguards). This new power can only be exercised if the Secretary of State considers that the further safeguards are capable of ensuring that the data protection test in new Article 46(6) is met in relation to the transfers of personal data generally or in relation to a type of transfer specified in the regulations.
