10/11/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 10 November, MEPs in plenary voted in favour of revising the ‘NIS’ directive, which aims to ensure a high level of cybersecurity throughout the EU (577 votes in favour, 6 against, 31 abstentions). Negotiators from the Council of the EU and the European Parliament reached a provisional political agreement on the future ‘NIS2’ directive on 12 May (see EUROPE 12952/1). As a reminder, this revision provides for the introduction of stricter obligations in the cybersecurity sector in terms of risk management, reporting and information sharing. The scope has been extended to cover so-called ‘essential' sectors, such as energy, transport and public administration. In addition, the text establishes a framework for improved cooperation between different authorities and Member States and creates a European database on vulnerabilities. (TM)
