Cloud Computing in the Digital Agenda

“Europe […] should develop an EU-wide strategy on 'cloud

computing'”

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?

1. Economic potential for cloud supply & especially demand sides

2. Cloud computing will happen: to or with us?

3. Many policies impact cloud & vice versa: horizontal view needed

http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda

“[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

When?

“First, the legal framework: users' rights, data

protection and privacy […].

Second, technical and commercial fundamentals:

boosting research efforts […]

Third, the market: we will support pilot

projects for cloud deployment, and push public

procurers into action.”

Neelie Kroes, 22 March 2011

What?

Enabling and facilitating faster adoption of cloud computing

throughout all sectors of the economy

to help cut ICT costs and boost productivity and economic activity

Again: What?

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

Demand side: Productivity potential

for all; quicker and less risky

professional IT for new users

(e.g. start-ups)

Supply side: new opportunities for

telcos, equipment, services

providers

Work with ENISA & others to assist development of EU-wide voluntary certification schemes

Agree with industry harmonised metrics for energy consumption & carbon emissions of cloud services

1. Cutting through the Jungle of Standards

Develop with stakeholders model terms for cloud computing service level agreements for professional cloud users

European model contract terms and conditions pursuant to Common European Sales Law; expert group for cloud-related issues beyond the CSL

Review standard contractual clauses & binding corporate rules for international data transfers by cloud providers

Work with industry towards a code of conduct for cloud providers for Article 29 Working Party to endorse
