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

The Commission acts...“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

Multiple roles......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

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

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
