Brussels, 26/04/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Tuesday, 26 April, negotiators from the European Parliament and the Council of the EU held the second political trilogue on the directive on the resilience of critical infrastructures; Slovak European Parliament rapporteur Michal Šimečka (Renew Europe) has high hopes that the work will be completed under the French Presidency of the Council of the EU, even though the group indicated numerous points remain open for discussion. The trilogue on 26 April was devoted to the scope of the directive, to delegated powers, to critical entities with a European dimension, and to liability controls for certain employees or contractors, according to the EU Council’s mandate, working on these critical infrastructures, who could abuse their access rights to carry out activities intended to be malicious or a nuisance. The first trilogue took place on 31 January (see EUROPE 12880/7). (SP)
