Chief Digital Officer of Telefónica
Europe right now needs to invest in creating technology and not only using technology that provides us a lot of dependency on other providers from the United States or China. This is really important. Because in this new era, scale is important. [...] We will provide the first federated secure and sovereign model where cloud, AI and edge are going to be able [to work together] so we can accelerate a lot of digital services on top of that.

Verified. Source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the Euronews article (March 2026) and the quote. The second segment was confirmed verbatim: "We will provide the first federated secure and sovereign model where cloud, AI and edge are going to be able [to work together] so we can accelerate a lot of digital services on top of that." The first segment (Europe needing to invest in creating technology rather than depending on US/China providers, with scale being important) matches the article's central theme around the EURO-3C sovereign infrastructure launch. Correctly attributed to Sebas Muriel Herrero, Chief Digital Officer of Telefónica, who leads the EURO-3C consortium. Year 2026 is current. The bracketed "[to work together]" matches the allowed clarification convention. The vote "for" on statement #396 ("The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers") aligns perfectly with the speaker's advocacy and his leadership of exactly such an initiative.
