- Microsoft missed a time limit to settle part of his European Sky -Saga
- A new suggestion has been received by Cispe and is under review
- ECCO says Microsoft is an ‘Amber’ company
Microsoft has presented new commercial terms to CISPE after previous antitrust complaints as the latest part of his bid to settle inconsistencies and continue to operate in scale throughout Europe, new reports from Registeredhave found.
In November 2022, Cispe Microsoft claimed higher fees for running its software on rival clouds, where the company has already reached a solution with the European group of sky providers.
By 2023, Microsoft agreed to develop a European-specific version of Azure, but then later missed a deadline to deliver Azure Local within the agreed timeframe, which received further negotiations.
Microsoft’s European Sky -Fight Continuing
The European Body noted: “Cispe confirms that it has received a proposal from Microsoft within the time limit required by the Memorandum of Understanding, which was signed in July 2024.”
Cispe is currently reviewing Microsoft’s proposal with plans to communicate its response within the coming weeks.
It is assumed that the offer will center on Reduced Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) fees after a previous 10%increase. Service providers may not need to share customer lists with Microsoft either.
The development follows a damn report issued by the European Cloud Competition Observatory (ECCO) in May 2025, which placed Microsoft on an Amber rating. It was the second report that was published for the company’s ongoing shadow stamp and the other who had an amber assessment.
At the time, Cispe -General Secretary Francisco Mingorance said: “It is disappointing that the proposed product did not deliver, but this is not at the end of the agreement.”
Despite Microsoft’s non -compliance with its previous deadline, Ecco’s report said it maintained a “cooperative working relationship” with the company.
Techradar Pro reached out to Microsoft for a comment on the ongoing development, but we did not receive answers.
