Cloud Computing in the Digital Agenda “Europe should also […] [reinforce] eInfrastructures and […] should develop an EU-wide strategy on cloud computing notably for government and science. […] The strategy should consider economic, legal and institutional aspects.” A Digital Agenda for Europe (COM(2010)245, 19.05.2010),http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52010DC0245(01):EN:NOT

Why this?• Economic potential for supply & especially demand sides• Cloud computing will happen: to or with us?• Many policies impact cloud & vice versa: need horizontal view http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda

Why now?“Now is the time to bring it all together. […] This goes beyond a policy framework. I want to make Europe not just ‘cloud- friendly’ but ‘cloud- active’.”Neelie Kroes, 27 January 2011 http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda

The Commission acts as......Policy Maker Launches policy debates Invites Member States to take action Proposes EU legislation Supports coordination...Funding Agency Research & Innovation projects e.g. eGovernment building blocks...Infrastructure Builder Funds infrastructures Connects Member State systems

When?“[T]he deliverable is a document combining analysis and a plan of future actions. I want to have this in place no later than 2012.” Neelie Kroes, 27 January 2011“Before the summer, I intend to present a European Cloud Strategy...” Neelie Kroes, 24 January 2012 http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda

What?“First, the legal framework: users rights, data protection and privacy - including the global aspects […].Second, technical and commercial fundamentals: boosting research efforts, and focussing them on critical issues such as security and reliability.Neelie Kroes, 22 March 2011 http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda

And what not?“our overall Cloud Computing strategy,is not about building a European super-Cloud, neither outright nor by forcing the integration of existing public Cloud infrastructures.” Neelie Kroes, 26 January 2012 http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda

Ex. 1: Public procurement“...push public procurers into action.”“Let me just dare to look a bit into thefuture. In the US there is a largeframework contract for cloud computingthat can be used on all levels ofgovernment. This pools a lot ofprocurement power. If anything, this can‘move the market’ – and the publicadministrations. What would we need to doto pull off something like this inEurope?” Neelie Kroes, 23 May 2011

The European Cloud Partnership“I am inviting public authorities and industry, Cloud buyers and suppliers, to come together in a European Cloud Partnership. In the first phase, the Partnership will come up with common requirements for Cloud procurement.” Neelie Kroes, 26 January 2012 http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda

Ex. 2: Content online“...a European Cloud Strategy in which we will assess all possible obstacles for the Cloud to enable a flourishing business for content, both for providers and right-holders.” Neelie Kroes, 24 January 2012 http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda

Ex. 3: Data Protection “The challenge is to take ourfundamental rights to privacy and theprotection of personal data and makethem work in the digital era. So thatwe remove obstacles – and indeed give a boost – to a competitive and effective Cloud market.” Neelie Kroes, 30 January 2012 http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda
