What about the low hanging fruit like digital sovereignty in software for government, schools and companies that work with government? or the computers and phones?
They seem to have taken focus on stuff that will yield results a decade for now (still important), but ignoring the stuff that can be done now. I hope this isn’t a case of them setting far reaching deadlines that will eventually be pushed back.

If our leaders truly believe in digital sovereignty, they should first walk the walk and stop posting critical information on Twitter/X and Facebook. PM Frederiksen posted her response to US annexation threat of Greenland on Facebook. Because posting on American social medias will definitely show them who is boss.

>The European Commission plans to roll out a series of digital infrastructure laws in 2026 which aim at a single objective: reducing the EU’s reliance on foreign – chiefly American – technology companies.
More laws and regulations, while Microsoft, Amazon, and Google are building AI datacenters in Europe…
European companies need to be prioritized in the buildout of AI infrastructure. Can’t simply rely on regulations on American tech forever. Alternatives have to be built.

When EU talks about digital, it basically always means more transparency from citizens to government. That is, monitoring, taxes and regulation.
