Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
(7) Under certain conditions, all products with digital elements integrated in or connected to a larger electronic information system can serve as an attack vector for malicious actors. As a result, even hardware and software considered as less critical can facilitate the initial compromise of a device or network, enabling malicious actors to gain privileged access to a system or move laterally across systems. Manufacturers should therefore ensure that all connectable products with digital elements connected to external network or device are designed and developed in accordance with essential requirements laid down in this Regulation. This includes both products that can be connected to external networks or device physically via hardware interfaces and products that are connected logically, such as via network sockets, pipes, files, application programming interfaces or any other types of software interface. As cybersecurity threats can propagate through various products with digital elements before reaching a certain target, for example by chaining together multiple vulnerability exploits, manufacturers should also ensure the cybersecurity of those products that are only indirectly connected to other devices or networks.

Amendment 141 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) In order not to hamper innovation or research, free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity should not be covered by this Regulation. This is in particular the case for software, including its source code and modified versions, that is openly shared and freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable. In the context of software, a commercial activity might be characterized not only by charging a price for a product, but also by charging a price for technical support services,solely occurs when a price is charged for the use of a product with the intention of making a profit or by providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services, or by the usemonetization of personal data for reasons other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software.

Amendment 143 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Agricultural and forestry vehicles in scope of Regulations (EU) 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council fall also in the scope of this Regulation. In order to avoid regulatory overlaps, additional cybersecurity requirements in future amendments of Regulation (EU) 167/2013 should not be foreseen.

Amendment 155 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26
(26) Critical products with digital elements should be subject to stricter conformity assessment procedures, while keeping a proportionate approach. For this purpose, critical products with digital elements should be divided into two classes, reflecting the level of cybersecurity risk linked to these categories of products. A potential cyber incident involving products in class II might lead to greater negative impacts than an incident involving products in class I, for instance due to the nature of their cybersecurity-related function or intended use in sensitive environments, and therefore should undergo a stricter conformity assessment procedure. Periodical checks should be carried out to ensure that the list of critical products with digital elements is updated.

Amendment 171 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 36
(36) Manufacturers of products with digital elements should put in place coordinated vulnerability disclosure policies that are coordinated in terms of frequency and timing to facilitate the reporting of vulnerabilities by individuals or entities. A coordinated vulnerability disclosure policy should specify a structured process through which vulnerabilities are reported to a manufacturer in a manner allowing the manufacturer to diagnose and remedy such vulnerabilities before detailed vulnerability information is disclosed to third parties or to the public. Given the fact that information about exploitable vulnerabilities in widely used products with digital elements can be sold at high prices on the black market, manufacturers of such products should be able to use programmes, as part of their coordinated vulnerability disclosure policies, to incentivise the reporting of vulnerabilities by ensuring that individuals or entities receive recognition and compensation for their efforts (so-called ‘bug bounty programmes’).

Amendment 190 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 62
(62) In order to ensure that the regulatory framework can be adapted where necessary, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of updates to the list of critical products in Annex III and specifying the definitions of the these product categories. Such updates shall be carried out periodically by the Commission, ensuring timely changes to the list of critical products in Annex III. Power to adopt acts in accordance with that Article should be delegated to the Commission to identify products with digital elements covered by other Union rules which achieve the same level of protection as this Regulation, specifying whether a limitation or exclusion from the scope of this Regulation would be necessary as well as the scope of that limitation, if applicable. Power to adopt acts in accordance with that Article should also be delegated to the Commission in respect of the potential mandating of certification of certain highly critical products with digital elements based on criticality crieria set out in this Regulation, as well as for specifying the minimum content of the EU declaration of conformity and supplementing the elements to be included in the technical documentation. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Inter-institutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making33. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. _________________ 33 OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1.
