I would like to invite you to respond to the consultation and to circulate these links to any potentially interested party. Background: The consultation invites all interested parties, in particular cloud developers and cloud users, to explain their experience, needs, expectations and insights into the use and provision of cloud computing. Inter alia, the survey seeks feedback on the following issues: - data protection and liability questions, in particular in cross-border situations; - other legal and technical barriers that can slow down the development of cloud computing in Europe; - standardisation and interoperability solutions; - uptake of cloud services, in particular by SMEs; - ways to promote research and innovation in cloud computing. The results of the consultation will feed into a European cloud computing strategy that the Commission will present in 2012. This strategy will aim to clarify the legal conditions for the take-up of cloud computing in Europe, stimulate the development of a competitive European cloud industry and market, and facilitate the roll-out of innovative cloud computing services for citizens and businesses.
