Proposal for a directive

Recital 3 a (new)
(3 a) Cyber security is a priority of the Common Security and Defence Policy of the Union, including its cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). The EU Strategic Compass will enhance and guide the implementation of the Union’s level of ambition in the field of security and defence, and translate that ambition into capability needs in cyber defence, thereby increasing the ability of the Union and Member States to prevent, discourage, deter, respond to and recover from malicious cyber activities by strengthening its posture, situational awareness, tools, procedures and partnerships. The Union and NATO should further strengthen their capabilities to prevent, deter and respond to hybrid and cyber attacks, create a joint cyber threat information hub as well as a joint task force for cyber security, and establish a common EU/NATO cyber threat analysis on the basis of which important and less important, urgent and less urgent decisions should be taken and actions could be selected and launched.
