Dutch court allows State to renew Solvinity contract despite CLOUD Act fears

The Hague District Court ruled the Dutch State may renew its contract with Solvinity, the DigiD infrastructure operator, before its August deadline, rejecting three citizens' claim that this was unlawful given Solvinity's pending sale to US-owned Kyndryl.

What it does not test. Does not decide whether Kyndryl's acquisition of Solvinity itself should be allowed; that question was resolved separately, later, by the government's own block.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. court permits renewal but ownership/operation of DigiD infra unchanged; Kyndryl sale undecided. European Sovereignty Index
