BRUSSELS: The European Union is to make a submission to the US Supreme Court in its hearing of the US Department of Justice's appeal against a ruling which prevented prosecutors from gaining access to emails held by Microsoft in Ireland. 

The case has attracted significant attention from technology and media companies due to concerns that an unfavourable final ruling could deter customers from using cloud services because of concerns that their data could be seized.
