Verified [CORDIS project record, EURO-3C (101297599)](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101297599?ref=sovereigntymonitor.eu)

**What it does not test.** Contracted, not disbursed: CORDIS records what the EU signed, not what has been paid or delivered. A grant is not a product, and sitting in the same consortium is co-membership, not a partnership. The figure is the EU contribution to the organisations this publication tracks, not the project total.

**How this item counts.** Towards autonomy: it changes who made the parts. Binding 2 of 3 (agreed or funded), scale 1 of 3 (small), Verified counts in full: weight +2 of 36 possible. EUR18.8M EU-contracted to Nokia/Ericsson/OVHcloud/IONOS/SUSE for telco-cloud tech (parts). [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
