On 21 and 22 June 2012, a Digital Agenda assembly will take place. The assembly will, among other topics, address cloud computing, in preparation of an EU-wide strategy for the supply and development of cloud services. An important aspect of the strategy is the legal framework for cloud computing:
'This concerns data protection and privacy,
including the international dimension. It also concerns laws and other rules that have a bearing on the deployment of
cloud computing in public and private organisations.
And it concerns users' rights insofar as they are provided for by law.'
The programme for the cloud workshop can be found here.
As a reminder, another conference on (consumer) contract law in the EU is organised in Messina at the end of this week:
