EU data sovereignty: opportunities and challenges

About

CERRE Academic Director Alexandre de Streel participated in a debate on EU data sovereignty, organised by Microsoft and Euractiv. The Debate discussed how the EU is approaching the opportunities and challenges posed by the storage (localisation), sharing, processing and management of data.

“Today, people want sovereignty. They want to ‘take back control’ as many are saying. I think achieving this requires much more than just rules. Europe is good at making rules but that is not enough to gain sovereignty. You also need a strong industry and that requires a whole industrial policy; something that Europe is not always very good at. It is a big test for this Commission” he explained.
