Question 36407 — digital

Summary

Mrs. Delphine Batho questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery on the choice made by the public investment bank Bpifrance to entrust Amazon Web Services with the hosting of data relating to the support of companies put in difficulty by the consequences of the covid-19 pandemic. Article 6 of Law No. 2020-289 of March 23, 2020 on amending finances for 2020 allows the State, in this context, to economic crisis linked to the health crisis, to grant its guarantee to loans granted by credit institutions and financing companies to French companies and specifies that the State is entrusting BpiFrance Financement SA with the implementation of this system. To do this, BpiFrance chose to rely on the cloud solution offered by Amazon Web Services to install a database, without a call for tenders. prior and while French or European companies have the skills and infrastructure which would have made it possible to provide the same service. Bpifrance has thus chosen to entrust information as sensitive as the list of French companies in difficulty which have requested a State guarantee to Amazon, even though the European Commission has opened formal proceedings against Amazon for not compliance with competition rules and abuse of dominant position. She asks him to kindly indicate in what precise circumstances BpiFrance took such a decision, if it was the subject of a competitive tender and if it was approved by the Government. She also asks him to please indicate whether the Government intends to order Bpifrance to use another data storage solution, proposed by French or European digital players.
