On Wednesday 22 June, the Member States’ ambassadors to the European Union (Coreper) analysed the final compromise text on a high common level of cybersecurity across the EU, with a view to an Interinstitutional Agreement.
A provisional political agreement with MEPs had been reached on 12 May (see EUROPE 12952/1).
In concrete terms, the latest version of the compromise text makes some changes to the scope of application, through a more proportionate approach to the exclusion and inclusion clauses for public administrations.
In addition to slightly revising the role of the European Commission within the CyCLONe Agency, the text also provides for the establishment of a single entry point for incident reporting, clarifies the penalties for non-compliance, and now includes the sectors of research and smart charging service operators for electric vehicles within the scope of the text.
Finally, the transposition period in the Member States has also been revised to 21 months.
