EU drops sovereignty requirements in cybersecurity certification scheme: document

The European Union has scrapped a requirement for vendors bidding for EU cloud computing contracts to be independent from non-EU laws. This change could make it easier for tech giants such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to bid for these contracts. The EU has been struggling to agree on a cybersecurity certification scheme (EUCS) to ensure the cybersecurity of cloud services. The move comes as Big Tech seeks growth opportunities in the government cloud market, while the EU has concerns about illegal state surveillance and the dominance of US cloud providers. The latest draft of the rules removes requirements for joint ventures and data storage in the EU, instead focusing on information about data location and applicable laws. EU countries are currently reviewing the revised draft.
