Call for evidence on the Cyber Resilience Act
Position Paper
23 May 2022
Digital

 

As the European Union’s economy and society continue to embrace digital solutions, there is an urgent need to ensure that the EU’s networks and information systems are resilient against evolving cyberattacks. The American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union (AmCham EU) supports a strong cybersecurity environment in Europe, which is the responsibility of government and industry alike. The future Cybersecurity Resilience Act (CRA) will address a wide range of digital products and services. This paper outlines key recommendations regarding aspects of the expected CRA that require clarity and focus, with the aim of making sure the upcoming proposal reinforces the security of the entire supply chain, avoids security risks in products and services and protects customers and citizens against malpractices and abuse. Our suggestions encompass the scope, security requirements, role of the industry, harmonisation, market surveillance and the differences between Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) products.

Making web scraping rules work for AI

The European Data Protection Board’s draft guidelines on web scraping for generative AI are an opportunity to provide greater legal certainty and support Europe’s AI competitiveness. However, some proposed requirements risk creating disproportionate burdens for AI developers.

A pragmatic, risk-based approach is needed to ensure the rules reflect the technical realities of AI development. This includes proportionate transparency obligations, recognition of the need for diverse training datasets and greater alignment with the AI Act and Digital Omnibus. Clear, harmonised rules are essential to protect personal data while enabling innovation.

Making CADA’s sovereignty framework work for Europe

The success of the Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) will depend on whether its sovereignty framework strengthens Europe’s resilience and competitiveness without restricting access to the technologies, providers and operating models needed to support the bloc’s digital transformation. As currently envisaged, several elements of CADA introduce origin-based restrictions that are not necessarily linked to genuine sovereignty, security or resilience risks. These measures could reduce competition, increase costs and slow cloud and AI adoption – ultimately working against CADA’s underlying objectives.

A sovereignty framework built on objective, risk-based criteria will better support Europe’s competitiveness, resilience and digital transformation than one based on origin, ownership or nationality.
