	B a. Whereas the cloud market in the European Union is dominated by only 3 major providers1a, and they are all subject to third-country legislation and have their business decisions taken outside the European Union. Economic interests and business continuity of the cloud users are at risk due to potential disclosure of their data to third parties or discontinuation of services based on unilateral decision of third country authorities. This risks are exacerbated by a volatile international context in which the legal value of contracts and courts is being undermined by decisions of executive bodies.

The European digital stack should use open standards, embrace interoperability as a design - principles to prevent user and vendor “lock in” and spur innovation by facilitating new market entrants; it should ensure privacy and security by default and by design to prevent exploitation of citizens’ personal data; it should adhere to EU net neutrality rules for the long-term sustainability of Europe’s digital market;
