Germany, Austria, Greece, Denmark and the Netherlands have yet to reveal the locations of the new regulatory or data‑processing centres they are expected to establish under the EU’s latest digital policy framework. The omission has raised questions about how the member states will coordinate with the European Commission and whether the centres will be housed in existing infrastructure or built anew. Analysts suggest that the delay may stem from negotiations over funding, staffing, and compliance standards, as well as concerns about national sovereignty and data protection. The lack of detail means stakeholders—including businesses, civil‑society groups and tech firms—are awaiting clearer guidance on the operational footprint and governance of these centres.
Germany, Austria, Greece, Denmark and the Netherlands did not outline where the centres would be located.
