6. Headlines from the group ”Cloud”
Actions recommended
1-Empower citizens to engage in secure transactions in cloud. What matters “isn't
the services' own policies, but how they deal law enforcement, government
agencies and lawyers in civil cases (several worries on foreign laws such as US
Patriot Act). Ensure security and privacy also outside cloud.
2-In order to guarantee the accessibility of the information, we need possibility to
store our part of cloud inside EU territory. WHERE is currently the element
establishing WHO controls and WHAT are the provisions applicable for any issue.
3-Full achievement of the single market. That would speed up cloud dramatically
as it would eliminate the main barriers. Focus also on interoperability and
portability.

7. Headlines from the group ”Cloud”
Actions recommended
4-EU to work on broadband targets and roaming tariffs, for mobile and/or
crossborder access to data stored in cloud. Also looking to other countries with
whom we do business now and in the near future as Latin America: Brazil, Argentina
or Chile, as well as USA and China.
5- Ensure that EU is at cutting edge in cloud research and cloud related know how.
6- Action to help SMEs in accessing information on cloud related subjects easily.
The awareness amongst SMEs is still low. Cloud is still a big unknown by the
SMEs.

Not "made in Europe" but "governed by our laws". [...]
Cloud servers in third nations makes it possible for authorities in these nations to get legal
and extralegal access and there are no sanctions against business/industrial espionage
because the laws of your jurisdiction do not apply. Certainly government services cannot be
outsourced to foreign jurisdictions.
