EU consultation
4 submissions from 4 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission received 20 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 4 from organizations. Not shown: 16 from private individuals. Their submissions are personal data; the Commission publishes them under its own legal basis, and republishing them by name here would need one we do not have. Organizations act in a public capacity, so their positions are public record. About this data →
1 submissions from industry (companies and their trade associations) against 2 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations: a body that filed twice is counted twice.

Hydrogen Ireland welcomes the European Commissions initiative to establish minimum performance standards for data centres operating across the EU. The Commission is right: data centres are now core infrastructure for Europes digital future, and their rapidly growing energy footprint must be managed with transparency, flexibility and innovation.
The Swiss Datacenter Efficiency Association (SDEA) is a non-profit operating a measurement-based certification scheme for data centre sustainability. Certification requires twelve months of operational data and an independent third-party audit; auditors are mandated and paid directly by operators, so SDEA has no commercial interest in any audit's outcome.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed”. You read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
