The Berlin Declaration rightly highlights the need to mitigate digital dependencies and to advance the EU’s technological capabilities. Yet what remains strikingly absent is an explicit recognition of the fundamental rights and a stronger commitment to enforcement. Sovereignty is not only about building European chips, clouds, or AI models, it is also about ensuring that EU law can be effectively applied and enforced – including against powerful non-EU companies.
