Abstract: Cloud services are essential for boosting productivity, efficiency, and competition. There is high and growing concentration in the sector, as well as barriers to entry and to switching providers, and asymmetries in information and in bargaining power. These challenges affect both the private sector and public administrations. To address them, the following recommendations are proposed. First, to maintain strengthened supervision of cloud services, with the application of competition policy as the first line of defence. Second, to consider a complementary application of the DMA to cloud services. Third, to foster a pro competitive environment in the digital economy. Fourth, to adopt a pro competitive framework for public procurement of cloud services.
