We, the undersigned representatives of European digital business, welcome the progress made on the
European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme for Cloud Services (EUCS), support the direction of the latest
EUCS draft and call upon Member States and the European Commission to ensure a swift adoption of the
scheme, without undue delays.

Our associations represent both cloud customers and cloud vendors active in and contributing to the
European Digital Single Market. We represent European businesses, including SMEs and start-ups, which
require access to the widest range of top-tier digital technologies to deliver their services and products in the EU and internationally. Our members are dedicated to fostering a competitive, innovative, and resilient digital economy.

We believe that an inclusive and non-discriminatory EUCS that supports the free movement of cloud services in Europe will help our members prosper at home and abroad, contribute to Europe’s digital ambitions, and strengthen its resilience and security. The EUCS provides a harmonized framework for assessing and certifying the security of cloud services, ensuring that they meet strict EU cybersecurity standards. This will improve the overall security of our organizations and build trust in the cloud services we use. It will also simplify compliance with EU regulations, making it easier for companies to demonstrate they meet regulatory requirements when using cloud services, and eliminate the complexity caused by fragmentation for multinational companies operating across the EU.
