Question 7800 — digital

Summary

Mr. Éric Bothorel draws the attention of the Secretary of State, to the Prime Minister, responsible for digital affairs, to the use of cloud computing services by local authorities. The legal framework applicable to public archives, defined in particular in articles L. 211-4 and L. 111-1 et seq. of the heritage code, could be interpreted extensively, by wanting to impose storage on the territory national data of electronic documents which may constitute archives, by assimilation to the existing status for national treasures which cannot leave the territory without special authorization. Such a situation, which is to the detriment of the number of offers, their competitiveness and their adequacy with the needs of communities, slows down the use of storage solutions based on cloud computing by certain local authorities as well as certain institutions producing public archives. However, these technologies have become fundamental both for the management of archives, services to citizens and the need to support the State in digital transformation, while the objective is, for example, to digitize 100% of administrative procedures by 2022. In this context, and while the regulation on free circulation of data currently being adopted at European level will make forced data localization measures impossible except for reasons linked to public security, he asks it to please specify what measures it intends to take in order to guarantee the adequacy of the framework with these new challenges of digitization of public data, and to secure the use of these technological solutions by local authorities and institutions producing archives.
