**What it does not test.** This does not establish that any fine has actually been issued or that a European alternative to these providers has gained ground.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. AI Act duties/fining power now apply EU-wide; no change to who owns, runs or governs GPAI providers. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
