8. Converging on a European ideal?
“While Cloud initiatives in the
Member States are welcome,
such as Andromède in France,
G-Cloud in the UK and Trusted
Cloud in Germany, this is not
enough and not the most
efficient way to grow the
market for everybody's
benefit.”

11. EU cloud strategy, 27th Sep 2012
"Cloud computing is a
game-changer for our
economy. Without EU
action, we will stay stuck
in national fortresses
and miss out on billions
in economic gains. We
must achieve critical mass
and a single set of rules
across Europe. We must
tackle the perceived risks of
cloud computing head-on.”
– Neelie Kroes
