I have a question for the EU Commission: @EUCommission

I filed an objection to the purchase of the German AI company, Hornet Security, by a US / Israeli Cyber multinational.

I was surprised then to hear that the EU had called for a replacement for Microsoft Office due to security concerns.

See where I'm going with this?
