**What it does not test.** This does not establish that the Act has been adopted, since it is a Commission proposal that still needs Parliament and Council agreement.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. DNA proposal cites cutting telecom supplier dependency but states no concrete measure. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
