Comment by Daniel Friedlaender
Senior Vice President and Head of CCIA Europe (Computer & Communications Industry Association)
By pairing a strict mandate with unrealistic standards that the EU itself cannot meet, the Commission is effectively giving national capitals carte blanche to shut out trusted global vendors from every major technology-producing nation outside the Union.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote is authentic and verbatim. The CCIA page titled “Discriminatory EU Cloud and AI Development Act Risks Severe Market Fragmentation” (published June 3, 2026) contains the exact sentence and places it under the heading, “The following can be attributed to CCIA Europe’s Senior Vice President & Head of Office, Daniel Friedlaender,” which confirms the attribution. A secondary report by Computing also reproduces the same quote and attributes it to Friedlaender.

Checked year (2026, current), author attribution, vote alignment, and source. The source_url (ccianet.org press release) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search surfaced the exact quote verbatim ("...effectively giving national capitals carte blanche to shut out trusted global vendors from every major technology-producing nation outside the union") attributed to Daniel Friedlaender of CCIA Europe, from this same primary-source CCIA press release dated June 2026. Author bio (SVP & Head of CCIA Europe) matches. Vote "against" the statement "The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers" correctly aligns: Friedlaender is criticizing the EU's discriminatory Cloud and AI Development Act / sovereignty mandate, so he opposes EU-protectionist sovereign infrastructure. Quote is accurate, relevant, and on-point.
