On October 23, reports emerged indicating that the UK is apprehensive about the potential adverse effects of the EU's measures aimed at fostering technological autonomy on the interests of its digital enterprises. The UK aspires for its companies to be eligible to bid for contracts governed by the "Made in Europe" technology rules. It is reported that the EU is deliberating whether to limit bidding for contracts under the Cloud and Artificial Intelligence Development Act (CADA) exclusively to European companies. This step signifies the EU's most recent endeavor to diminish reliance on non-European providers and to encourage the preferential procurement of European goods and services. The proposal lies at the heart of a comprehensive "technological sovereignty" strategy currently being formulated by the European Commission. This strategy will introduce a rating system for cloud computing service and software providers, mandating European governments to exclusively utilize EU suppliers when managing the most sensitive data. An EU-UK summit is scheduled to take place in Brussels on November 20, with both parties intensifying their discussions on this issue.
