- 2026-09-07 EDPS: Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) — The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) published its opinion on the proposal for the Cloud and AI Development Act of the EU Commission. It welcomes the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) because it is intended to strengthen Europe’s digital sovereignty, resilience and independence from non-European providers. The EDPS emphasizes, however, that compliance with GDPR, EU-DPR and LED (Directive on ‘Police and Justice’) must always be the starting point of all cloud and AI measures (Datenzirkus (BvD))
