Fighting cyber crime and protecting privacy in the cloud

This study addresses the challenges raised by the growing reliance on
cloud computing. It starts by investigating the issues at stake and
explores how the EU is addressing the identified concerns. The study
then examines the legal aspects in relation to the right to data
protection, the issues of jurisdiction, responsibility and regulation of data
transfers to third countries. These questions have been neglected in EU
policies and strategies, despite very strong implications on EU data
sovereignty and the protection of citizens' rights.
