**What it does not test.** Does not establish which European defence ministries will actually route restricted workloads to AWS rather than a European provider.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. AWS operates in Europe but US owner/law unchanged; operate-alone doesn't count per rule. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
