Ms Merkel said she would press French president François Hollande to back the push for EU-based alternatives to the current US-dominated internet infrastructure when she holds talks in Paris on Wednesday.
“We’ll talk with France about how we can maintain a high level of data protection,” Ms Merkel said in her weekly podcast.
“Above all, we’ll talk with European providers that offer security for our citizens, so that one shouldn’t have to send emails and other information across the Atlantic.”
One US company, which refused to be named, said there were questions over the practicalities of how email between the US and countries in this undefined new service would work. Some tech experts have warned that proposals to build alternative networks in Europe fail to take account of how the internet operates, or the continued legal obligation of American companies to turn information over to the NSA, no matter where it is stored.
Ms Merkel’s decision to throw her personal backing behind EU-centric internet services reflects how politically charged the issue is in Germany.
