Europe is moving to block Microsoft, Amazon, and Google from handling government health, financial, and legal data

The European Commission is drafting a Tech Sovereignty Package that could limit foreign cloud firms’ access to sensitive government data in Europe.

The proposal would likely affect public-sector workloads such as health, financial, and legal data, while leaving private-company cloud choices unchanged.

Major U.S. providers including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google could face tighter rules in the EU sovereign cloud market.

The move could reduce Europe’s reliance on U.S. cloud platforms and heighten transatlantic tensions over digital regulation.
