SUMMARY:The Data Act: Enhancing cloud switching and interoperability
DESCRIPTION:In line with the European Commission’s “digital targets for 2030”\, the competitiveness of the European services sector and industry rely heavily on an accelerated uptake of cloud services. While the Commission’s Data Act proposal highlights the right principles to remove barriers and boost cloud uptake in Europe\, its implementation seems quite challenging: the proposal does not recognise that the use of cloud services differs between market participants. \nIn this regard\, ECR MEP Adam Bielan\, Rapporteur on the IMCO Data Act Opinion\, has organised a roundtable conversation on Thursday 10 November with data experts Robert Condon\, Senior Director\, Government at VMware; Hans Bos\, Amazon Web Services Security Assurance Europe\, Public Sector; Amal Taleb\, EU Public Affairs Director\, SAP; Jacqueline van de Werken\, Group General Counsel & DPO\, Leaseweb; Julien Rolland\, EU Affairs Specialist\, Dassault Systèmes; and Dr Aleksandra Musielak\, Director of the Digital Economy Department\, Konfederacja Lewiatan. \nWhere: ASP 1H1

SUMMARY:Securing the EU external borders
DESCRIPTION:ECR MEPs Kosma Złotowski\, Charlie Weimers\, and Jorge Buxadé host his excellency Ioannis Vrailas\, Ambassador of Greece to the European Union\, during the ECR Migration Policy Group meeting. \nThe exchange of views will address Turkey’s continued undermining of the security of the EU’s external borders through threats of hybrid warfare. Activist NGOs are also actively trying to undermine the different agencies in charge of border security to render them ineffective. Greece\, a frontline country in the EU’s external border crisis\, has a great deal of insight and knowledge to share on how to deal with border security matters.
