The financial services industry is committed to ensuring the digital operational resilience of the EU financial sector in line with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). It is within this context that the undersigned associations would like to draw attention to the challenges that industry participants, representing financial entities as well as ICT third-party service providers, are facing regarding the implementation of DORA by the 17 January 2025 deadline and highlight the need for coordinated supervisory action to be taken in response. Industry needs further clarity from the supervisory authorities on their approach to any possible DORA enforcement actions. This could include an outline of potential supervisory priorities or areas of focus for the first year of DORA application, which would provide helpful guidance for industry participants on how to prioritise their efforts.

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.
