Digital Agenda European Cloud Computing Strategy Communication adopted on 27 September: enabling and facilitating faster adoption of Cloud Computing through all sectors of the economy 3 Key main actions:  Cutting through the jungle of standards  Safe and fair contract terms and conditions  European Cloud Partnership for public sector

Digital Agenda Introduction and objective Enabling and facilitating faster adoption of cloud computing: public clouds spending to 2020 up from €35 billion (No Intervention scenario) to almost €80 billion (Policy-driven scenario) throughout all sectors of the economy: lower IT costs (81%), mobile working (46%), higher productivity (41%), standardised processes (35%), new business areas (33%) new locations (32%). to help cut ICT costs and boost productivity, growth and jobs: cloud-related workers could exceed 3.8 million, against some 1.3 million in the “No Intervention” scenario

Digital Agenda General impact on users Supply side: new opportunities for telcos, equipment, services providers  Demand side: Productivity potential for all; quicker and less risky professional IT for new users (e.g. start-ups)

Digital Agenda Cutting through the Jungle of Standards 1  ETSI (European Telecoms Standards Institute) to coordinate stakeholders & identify necessary standards (e.g. for security and interoperability)  NB: broad mapping wide stakeholder input …  Not just Europe;  not just telecoms;  not just official standards  Work starts today  Mid-year 2013 progress check  Delivery of full map be end of 2013

Digital Agenda Cutting through the Jungle of Standards 2  Recognise ICT technical specifications for data protection  ENISA & others (2014) list of voluntary certification schemes  Agree with industry harmonised metrics for energy consumption & carbon emissions of cloud services

Digital Agenda Safe and Fair Contract Terms  Develop with stakeholders model terms for cloud computing service level agreements for professional cloud users  European model contract terms and conditions pursuant to Common European Sales Law  Review standard contractual clauses & binding corporate rules for international data transfers by cloud providers  Work with industry towards a code of conduct for cloud providers for Article 29 Working Party to endorse

Digital Agenda European Cloud Partnership  Identify common requirements for public sector cloud use  Towards joint public procurement of cloud services  Shape the market to benefit private use Pre-Commercial Procurement Action with MS (FP7, EUR 10m call published), with industry input How: Steering Board (industry and MS)

Digital Agenda Coordination of the different Cloud Computing Groups Select Industry Group (SIG) Set-up by VP Kroes to advise her on the Cloud Strategy Industry Recommendations Nov SIG Sherpas Group Cloud Computing Expert Group Research Recommendations May 2012 and Cloud Research Roadmap Oct European Cloud Partnership Steering Board Pre-Commercial Procurement ECP Sherpas Group ETSI Standards Map ENISA Certification Review

Digital Agenda Other Actions Focus Future European Research Funding Horizon 2020 support  Connecting Europe Facility (including Commission IT) will use cloud  Cloud in International Dialogue and free- trade negotiations

Digital Agenda European Cloud Communication: Conclusion Closed models and vendor lock-in are a danger for Cloud model take-up Appropriate standards and certification schemes need to be identified The Public sector has an important role for the shaping of the Cloud computing market
