Cloud vendors are aware of these issues and have different products for 
different markets. If you need a cloud-based solution that "stays in the 
EU" or even "stays in the UK" you can probably find one, but don't 
expect it to be one of the mass market consumer ones.

At a Council of Europe conference last year ago the MS rep said that 
their standard cloud might not be what you needed in these circumstances 
(but they might have changed their stance/product in the mean time).
