"The European Commission is considering new rules that could restrict the use of cloud services from other countries for sensitive public data within the EU, according to sources cited by CNBC. The proposal is expected to be part of the EU's upcoming "Tech Sovereignty Package," which is slated to be presented May 27."
"The idea is that certain types of data - such as those in healthcare, finance, and the judiciary - should be stored and managed to a greater extent on European cloud infrastructure. If put in place, the rules could affect dominant US players such as Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud."
"All could consequently see their use restricted in sensitive public systems."
The European Commission is considering rules that could limit the use of cloud services from outside the EU for sensitive public data. The proposal is expected to be part of the EU’s Tech Sovereignty Package to be presented May 27. The rules would target data types such as healthcare, finance, and the judiciary, requiring that these data be stored and managed to a greater extent on European cloud infrastructure. If implemented, the measures could affect major cloud providers based in the United States, including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud. Their participation in sensitive public systems could be restricted under the new requirements.
