20/04/2021 (Agence Europe) – The Council of the European Union gave the green light on Tuesday 20 April to the future Cybersecurity Competence Centre, which will be set up in Bucharest. A provisional agreement had already been reached on 11 December between representatives of the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the Commission (see EUROPE 12621/11). With this Centre, the EU intends to strengthen the security of the Internet, as well as other critical networks and systems, by pooling investment in research, technology and industrial development. The Centre will do this by complementing the actions of the EU Cybersecurity Agency (ENISA), based in Greece, working in cooperation with a network of national coordination centres designated by the Member States, and being responsible for the targeted allocation of cybersecurity funds.
