European industry groups, representing 26 organizations, caution against potential discrimination towards major tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in the proposed EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCS) for cloud services.

The EUCS has recently been revised to remove sovereignty requirements that previously favored EU-based companies, aligning it with industry best practices and non-discriminatory principles.

These groups advocate for an inclusive approach to the EUCS to ensure fair competition and the free movement of cloud services across Europe.

Key industry players, including EU cloud vendors and business associations, are expressing concerns and preferences regarding the certification scheme.

An upcoming meeting will address these issues to promote diversity in cloud technologies and benefit Europe's digital ambitions.
