(5)

Those dependencies translate not only into limited market shares for the European
           cloud computing service providers, but also into significant risks for the Union’s
           operational autonomy, resilience and security. The Council has called for a Cloud and
           AI Development Act to include common criteria for sovereign cloud computing
           services, allowing market transparency risks and risks associated with dependencies,
           including extraterritorial effects of legislation adopted by third countries, to be
           addressed (11).
