Official source: COM(2026) 502 final — Proposal for a Cloud and AI Development Act

(47)

Existing Union law addresses cybersecurity, data protection, interoperability and data
            portability requirements which cloud computing services are subject to. However,
            there is no cross-cutting Union regulatory framework establishing a harmonised
            understanding of what constitutes a trusted cloud computing service for mitigating
            such risks. Some Member States have developed or are in the process of developing
            national approaches to identifying national sovereign services. However, national
            measures do not adequately address the cross-border issues related to the Union’s lack
            of sovereignty in the cloud computing ecosystem and risk fragmenting the Union
            internal market and undermining common goals of autonomy and sovereignty.
