Proposal for a directive
Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) There is evidence of a tendency towards increasingly dangerous and recurrent large scale attacks conducted against information systems which are critical to states or to particular functions in the public or private sector. This tendency is accompanied by the development of increasingly sophisticated tools that can be used by criminals to launch cyber-attacks of various types. Furthermore, distributed denial-of-service attacks on information systems and/ or attacks on critical information infrastructures for disruption purposes might be used as a means of cyber warfare and/ or terrorism.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) This Directive strengthens the importance of networks, such as the G8 or the Council of Europe's network of points of contact available on a twenty-four hour, seven-day-a-week basis to exchange information in order to ensure the provision of immediate assistance for the purpose of investigations or proceedings concerning criminal offences related to information systems and data, or for the collection of evidence in electronic form of a criminal offence. Given the speed with which large-scale attacks can be carried out, Member States should be able to respond promptly to urgent requests from this network of contact points. Such assistance should include facilitating, or directly carrying out, measures such as: the provision of technical advice, the preservation of data, the collection of evidence, the provision of legal information, the identification of the jeopardised and/or extracted information and the locating of suspects.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) There is a need to collect data on offences under this Directive, in order to gain a more complete picture of the problem at Union level and thereby contribute to formulating more effective responses. The data will moreover help specialised bodies and agencies such as Member States' CERTs, Europol and the European Network and Information Security Agency to better assess the extent of cybercrime and the state of network and information security in Europe.
