Our concern is that CADA [the EU Cloud and AI Development Act] addresses those risks with instruments that go considerably further than security policy and will not deliver better security or resilience.AI Verified source (2026)

AI Unverifiable
Source URL (bsa.org press release) returns HTTP 403 Forbidden to automated fetching, so I could not directly confirm the page contains the exact quote. However, a web search strongly corroborates the quote's substance: Thomas Boué (VP & DG Policy EMEA, BSA) is confirmed as having raised concerns that CADA addresses real challenges with instruments going beyond security policy that won't deliver better security or resilience. Author attribution (Thomas Boué, BSA) and vote alignment are correct: BSA represents US software firms and opposes origin-based EU sovereignty requirements, so an "against" vote on "The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers" is consistent with the quote. Year 2026 is current. Marking ai_unverifiable solely because the primary source blocks direct fetch verification.
