Abstract: Abstract The unprecedented increase of activity in the digital domain, which was significantly developed during the pandemic, made clear that the new environment should be carefully regulated. In the advent of the global health crisis, several policy and regulatory initiatives are adopted by the EU in relation to the evolution of cloud computing as means of innovation, economic growth, and digital sovereignty. The pivotal transition of economic and societal activities to cloud computing services created numerous policy and legal issues that derive from the fact that non-European cloud service providers dominate the cloud market. In response to developments EU faces the enormous challenge to increase its presence on the market, cloud uptake and boost user confidence by facilitating access and use of Cloud computing infrastructure and services through a new set of EU rules.
