## Why Moldova

Moldova sits outside the EU legal perimeter — European Investigation Orders and DSA obligations do not reach it — while remaining 42 ms from Frankfurt. There is no hosting-level retention mandate and no bilateral copyright-enforcement treaty with the United States.

**Trade-off:** Real legal distance from both Brussels and Washington at a low price. In exchange: thinner transit, a smaller local operations market, and a country actively negotiating EU accession — the legal picture here has a five-year horizon, not a twenty-year one.

## Legal basis
