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
