BRUSSELS - EU data protection authorities are investigating whether the European Commission and other EU institutions comply with the bloc’s strict data privacy rules in their software deals with Microsoft.

The probe will look into the Microsoft products and services used by the institutions and whether the contractual agreements between them and the U.S. software company are GDPR-compliant.
“They also have a duty to ensure that any contractual arrangements respect the new rules and to identify and mitigate any risks,” he said.Microsoft said it was ready to assist its customers in the EDPS investigation.

Barnier says chaotic Brexit becomes ever more likelyBRUSSELS (AP) — EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier says that Britain's exit from the European Union without a deal 'becomes day after day more likely' after the U.K. parliament again rejected alternatives to the government's unpopular divorce deal.
