Recital 2
(2) Despite existing measures at Union19 and national level aimed at supporting the protection of critical infrastructures in the Union, the entities operating those infrastructures are not adequately equipped to address current, minimise impacts of potential failures or malicious activities affecting or targeting their premises, networks and activities, and anticipated future risks to their operations that may result in disruptions of the provision of services that are essential for the performance of vital societal functions or economic activities. This is due to a dynamic threat landscape with hybrid threats,emerging technologies, an evolving terrorist threat and growing interdependencies between infrastructures and sectors, as well as an increased physical risk due to natural disasters and climate change, which increases the frequency and scale of extreme weather events and brings long-term changes in average climate that can reduce the capacity and efficiency of certain infrastructure types if resilience or climate adaptation measures are not in place. Moreover, relevant sectors and types of entities are not recognised consistently as critical in all Member States. _________________ 19European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP).

(3) Those growing interdependencies are the result of an increasingly cross- border and interdependent network of service provision using key infrastructures across the Union in the sectors of energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, digital infrastructure, telecommunication services (including HW, SW, FW and networks), drinking and waste water, health, certain aspects of public administration, as well as space in as far as the provision of certain services depending on ground-based infrastructures that are owned, managed and operated either by Member States or by private parties is concerned, therefore not covering infrastructures owned, managed or operated by or on behalf of the Union as part of its space programmes. Infrastructure owned, managed or operated by or on behalf of the Union as part of its space programmes is particularly important for the security of the Union and its Member States and the proper functioning of the Union's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions and operations. Such infrastructure is therefore to be adequately protected as set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a. These interdependencies mean that any disruption, even one initially confined to one entity or one sector, can have cascading effects more broadly, potentially resulting in far-reaching and long-lasting negative impacts in the delivery of services across the internal market and can put at risk the security and safety of Union citizens and the economic and financial interests of the Union. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the vulnerability of our increasingly interdependent societies in the face of low- probability risks. _________________ 1aRegulation (EU) 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing the Union Space Programme and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and repealing Regulations (EU) No 912/2010, (EU) No 1285/2013 and (EU) No 377/2014 and Decision No 541/2014/EU (OJ L 170, 12.5.2021, p. 69).

Article 8 – paragraph 5
5. Member States shall ensure that their competent authorities, whenever appropriate, and in accordance with Union and national law, consult and cooperate with other relevant national authorities, in particular those in charge of civil protection and territorial defence, law enforcement and protection of personal data, as well as with relevant interested parties, including critical entities. At the same time, considering the fact that some critical entities might be private, Member States should find ways to allow a timely effective and thorough cooperation between these entities, private emergency operators potentially operating in these entities and certified by national bodies, and national authorities.
