A requirement that Amazon (AMZN.O), Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) Google, Microsoft (MSFT.O) and other non-EU cloud providers set up a joint venture with an EU-based company to qualify for the EU cybersecurity label has triggered criticism from some EU countries and foreign vendors.
The Japan Association of New Economy also slammed these requirements.
The Japan Association of New Economy is a business lobby group focused on e-business and developing new industries.
