and that the data used will not be stored in Gcloud, AWS etc. Interesting question, if you mean even studies or equipment used for the development of the infrastructure shall not rely on non-EU CSPs, the text specifies that projects must demonstrate 'that the network technologies and equipment (including software and services) funded comply with the conditions [...] indicate that no security sensitive equipment or services deployed or used *within the proposal *will be procured from third country suppliers - footnote According to the EU coordinated risk assessment, the risk profiles of individual suppliers can be assessed based on several factors. These factors include the likelihood of interference from a third country.' A footnote further even concedes that this kind of assessment would even apply to MNOs who rely on third parties to perform maintenance and upgrade of networks. We are thinking of the US providers, but the EP Rapporteur on the NIS 2 did laud this initiative by highlighting that the DNS4EU is the only way to create a protective shield from attacks from other world regions, giving Russia and N Korea as examples. Would anybody know which stakeholders have the capacity to apply for this call? Anastasia On Wed, Jan 12, 2022 at 6:09 PM Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@nic.fr> wrote:

This aspect is also reflected in the call document, which foresees an assessment of suppliers to strictly exclude non-EU entities, i.e. non-EU entities are not eligible for this call.
Yes, I noticed that. Does it mean that the machines will not be on AWS or other US hoster?
