[cooperation-wg] CENTR opinion on the NIS Directive

Dear All

 

CENTR has published its opinion on the Draft Directive concerning measures
to ensure a high common level of network and information security across
the Union (NIS Directive):
<http://www.centr.org/CENTR_opinion_on_EU_NIS_directive>
http://www.centr.org/CENTR_opinion_on_EU_NIS_directive

 

The opinion welcomes the focus of the draft Directive on enabling a
culture of security and trust but expresses concern that the text moves
away from enabling the development of a security framework, in favour of a
prescriptive, regulatory environment.

The draft Directive is currently being discussed by the European
Parliament and the Member States' Representatives in Brussels. 

Parliament and Council are expected to finalise their opinions by the
first months of 2014. If there is agreement between both opinions, the new
legislation could still be accepted before next year's European elections,
and in such a scenario, has to be transposed into national law by 2016.

 

Kind Regards

Wim
