Details

The Council adopted its position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology

and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres.

The proposed regulation aims to help the EU maintain and develop the technological and industrial cyber security capacities needed to secure its digital single market. It provides for the creation of structures at three institutional levels:

1) a European Competence Centre for Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research (at EU level),

2) a Network of National Coordination Centres (national level), and

3) a Cybersecurity Competence Community (at stakeholder level).

Mission of the Competence Centre and the Network

The mission of the Competence Centre and the Network is to help the Union to:

- strengthen its leadership and strategic autonomy in the area of cybersecurity by retaining and developing the Union’s research, academic, societal, technological and industrial cybersecurity capacities and capabilities necessary to enhance trust and security, including the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of data, in the Digital Single Market;

- support Union technological capacities, capabilities and skills in relation to the resilience and reliability of the infrastructure of network and information systems, including critical infrastructure and commonly used hardware and software in the Union; and

- increase the global competitiveness of the Union’s cybersecurity industry, ensure high cybersecurity standards throughout the Union and turn cybersecurity into a competitive advantage for other Union industries.

Centre of Competence

The Centre’s aim would be to ensure closer coordination between research and innovation and the deployment of strategies at both national and EU level, and to enable Member States to take decisions on their financial contribution to joint actions.

The Competence Centre should:

- implement research and innovation actions (supported by the Horizon Europe programme) as well as capacity building actions (supported by the Digital Europe programme);

- support, together with Member States, the build-up and procurement of advanced cybersecurity equipment, tools and data infrastructure in Europe and ensure wide deployment of the latest cybersecurity solutions across the economy; to this end, the Competence Centre would also be able to facilitate the shared acquisition of capacities on behalf of Member States.

Organisation of the Centre of Competence

The Competence Centre would be based in Bucharest and would have a Governing Board composed of representatives of the Member States and the Commission, responsible for defining the general direction of the Competence Centre’s operations and should ensure that the Competence Centre carries out its tasks in accordance with this Regulation.

The Strategic Advisory Group - consisting of up to 20 members - would provide advice based on a regular dialogue between the Competence Centre and the cyber security competence community.

The European Union Agency for Cyber Security (ENISA) would be a permanent observer on the Governing Board of the Centre of Competence and may provide advice and input on the drafting of the strategy and the annual and multi-annual work programmes.

The Council position includes new articles on gender balance and on the legal personality of the Centre of Competence.

Voting rules

The Governing Board should use a consensual approach in its discussions. A vote should be held if the members of the Governing Board fail to achieve a consensus.

For certain decisions related to the implementation of the Union's budget, as well as for the annual work programme, the multi-annual work programme and the method of calculating Member States' contributions, the Commission would have 26% of the voting rights. The Governing Board would adopt its decisions by a majority of at least 75% of the votes of all its members.

National coordination centres

No later than six months after the date of entry into force of the Regulation, each Member State would designate an entity to act as its national coordination centre.

The national coordination centres would act as national contact points for the Community to assist the Competence Centre in fulfilling its mission and objectives, in particular, to coordinate the Community through coordination between its members in their Member State.

Cybersecurity Competence Community

The Community will contribute to the mission of the Competence Centre and the Network and will enhance, share and disseminate cybersecurity expertise across the EU.

The Community would be composed of collective bodies/organisations and would not include individuals. The Competence Centre and its bodies could draw on the expertise of individuals and natural persons as ad hoc experts.

The Commission staff working document presents the impact assessment accompanying the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres.

The European Union has already put in place a number of policy and regulatory instruments to address fast evolving cyber threats and to secure its society, economy and democracy against them.

However, at present, the EU still lacks sufficient technological and industrial capacities to autonomously secure its economy and critical infrastructures and to become a global leader in cybersecurity field. There are still problems relating to the EU's insufficient cybersecurity technological and industrial capacities.

To this end, it aims to address the following problems:

insufficient level of strategic and sustainable coordination and cooperation between industries, cybersecurity research communities and governments to shield economy, society and democracy with leading-edge European cybersecurity solutions; sub-scale investment and limited access to cybersecurity know- how, skills and facilities across Europe; few European cybersecurity research and innovation outcomes translated into marketable solutions and widely deployed across the economy.

The following options were looked at:

Option 1: Cybersecurity Competence Network with a European Cybersecurity Industrial and Research Competence Centre entity empowered to pursue measures in support of industrial technologies as well as in the domain of research and innovation. Option 2: Cybersecurity Competence Network with a European Cybersecurity Research and Competence Centre limited to research and innovation activities only.

Preferred option : t he chosen option (option 1) is the creation of a Network of Cybersecurity Competence Centres with a European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technological and Research Competence Centre empowered to take action in favour of industrial technologies as well as in the field of research and innovation. According to the Commission, it represents the best instrument capable to implement the goals of the initiative while offering the highest economic, societal, and environmental impact and safeguarding the Union’s interests.

The main arguments in favour of setting the European Cybersecurity Industrial and Research Competence Centre supporting the Network as an EU entity based on art. 173 and 187 TFEU (autonomous EU legal entity, with its own budget, staff, structure, rules and governance) are:

it ensures flexibility to allow different cooperation models with the network of competence centres to optimise the use of existing knowledge and resources including financial tools and other incentives supporting members of the network; it provides a visible legal, contractual and organisational common framework to structure the joint commitments of the public and private stakeholders coming from all relevant sectors, including defence; it allows for the creation of a real cybersecurity industrial policy by supporting activities related not only to research and development but also to market deployment activities; it can act as an implementation mechanism for different EU cybersecurity funding streams under the next Multi-annual financial framework (Digital Europe Programme, Horizon Europe) and enhance synergies between the civilian and defence dimensions of cybersecurity in relation to the European Defence Fund.

Details

The Commission staff working document summarises the impact assessment accompanying the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres.

To this end, it aims to address the following problems:

· insufficient level of strategic and sustainable coordination and cooperation between industries, cybersecurity research communities and governments to shield economy, society and democracy with leading-edge European cybersecurity solutions;

· sub-scale investment and limited access to cybersecurity know- how, skills and facilities across Europe;

· few European cybersecurity research and innovation outcomes translated into marketable solutions and widely deployed across the economy.

Solutions : a number of policy options have been considered, both legislative and non-legislative.

The option chosen is the creation of a Network of Cybersecurity Competence Centres with a European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technological and Research Competence Centre empowered to take action in favour of industrial technologies as well as in the field of research and innovation.

The creation of the Competence Centre would be based on a dual legal basis due to its nature and specific objectives, namely Articles 187 and 173 TFEU .

The analysis showed that this option is the most appropriate to achieve the goals of the initiative, while ensuring the best economic, societal and environmental benefits and safeguarding the best interests of the Union.

The initiative would add value to current national efforts:

by helping to create an inter-connected, Europe-wide cybersecurity industrial and research ecosystem ; by encouraging better cooperation between relevant stakeholders (including between cybersecurity civilian and defence sectors) to make the best use of existing cybersecurity resources and expertise spread across Europe.

Impacts of the preferred option : the expected benefits would be as follows:

the possibility for public authorities and industries across Member States to more effectively prevent and respond to cyber threats by offering and equipping itself with more secure products and solutions. This is in particular relevant for the protection of access to essential services (e.g. transport, health, banking and financial services); the creation of a mechanism capable of building Member States' and Union's cybersecurity industrial capacities and effectively translating European scientific excellence into marketable solutions that could be deployed across the economy; pooling resources to invest in the necessary capacities at Member State level and develop common European assets while achieving economies of scale; the possibility for SMEs , industries and researchers to have increased access to infrastructure; the reduction of the costs of designing new products for SMEs and open up opportunities in terms of costs reduction for the design of new products and it will help them gain easier access to the investors' community and attract the necessary funding to deploy marketable solutions; allowing defence and civilian communities to work together on shared challenges; improving coherence and synergies between different funding mechanism; an indirect positive impact on the environment could be achieved through developing specific cybersecurity solutions for sectors having potentially huge environmental impact (e.g. nuclear power plants).

This initiative has a clear positive impact as it is likely to substantially increase Member States' capacities to autonomously secure their economies, including protecting the critical sectors, increasing competitiveness of European cybersecurity businesses as well as industries across different sectors. This should ultimately allow the EU to become a leader in the next-generation digital and cybersecurity technologies.

   EC - Legislative proposal published
Details

PURPOSE: to pool resources and expertise in the field of cybersecurity technologies.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

BACKGROUND: cybersecurity is an issue of common interest of the Union . Future security depends, among others, on enhancing technological and industrial ability to protect the Union against cyber threats, as both civilian infrastructure and military capacities rely on secure digital systems.

Following the 2013 cybersecurity strategy , the Union has continued to increase its activities to meet the growing challenges of cybersecurity:

in 2016, the Union adopted its first measures in the area of cybersecurity through Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council on security of network and information systems; the creation in 2016 of the Public-Private Partnership (‘cPPP’) on cybersecurity in the Union was a solid first step bringing together the research, industry and public sector communities to facilitate research and innovation in cybersecurity and within the limits of the 2014-2020 financial framework should result in good, more focused outcomes in research and innovation. It will have triggered up to EUR 1.8 billion of investment by 2020; in September 2017, the Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy presented a joint Communication on ‘Resilience, Deterrence and Defence: Building strong cybersecurity for the EU’ to further reinforce the Union’s resilience, deterrence and response to cyber-attacks; at the Tallinn Digital Summit in September 2017, Heads of State and Government called on the Union to become a global leader in the field of cybersecurity by 2025.

With more than 660 cyber security competence centres throughout the EU, the EU already has considerable expertise in this area. However, the efforts of the research and industry communities are fragmented, lacking alignment and a common mission, which hinders the EU's competitiveness in this field.

The Commission considers that t hese efforts and expertise need to be pooled , networked and used in an efficient manner to reinforce and complement existing research, technology and industrial capacities at Union and national levels.

IMPACT ASSESSMENT: among the main arguments in favour of the selected option were:

the ability to create a real cybersecurity industrial policy by supporting activities related not only to research and development but also to market deployment; the flexibility to allow different cooperation models with the community and the network of competence centres to optimise the use of existing knowledge and resources; the ability to structure cooperation of the public and private stakeholders coming from all relevant sectors, including defence.

CONTENT: this Regulation proposes to establish the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre , as well as the Network of National Coordination Centres , and lays down rules for the nomination of National Coordination Centres as well as for the establishment of the Cybersecurity Competence Community.

The Competence Centre : its role would be to facilitate the work of the Network of National Coordination Centres and to enhance the cybersecurity competences, by driving the cybersecurity technological agenda and facilitating access to the expertise so gathered.

To this end, it would coordinate the use of cybersecurity funds under the EU's next long-term budget for the period 2021-2027 under the Digital Europe Programme and the Horizon Europe Programme . Its objectives would be:

· to enhance cybersecurity capabilities, knowledge and infrastructures at the service of industries, the public sector and research communities;

· to contribute to the wide deployment of the latest cyber security products and solutions across the economy;

· to improve the understanding of cybersecurity and contribute to reducing skills gaps in the Union related to cybersecurity;

· to contribute to the reinforcement of cybersecurity research and development in the Union;

· to enhance synergies between the civilian and defence dimensions of cybersecurity.

The Competence Centre would be set up as a European partnership to facilitate joint investment by the Union, Member States and/or industry. Therefore, the proposal requires Member States to contribute a commensurate amount to the actions of the Competence Centre and Network. The principal decision-making body is the Governing Board, in which all Member States take part but only those Member States which participate financially have voting rights.

The Network of National Coordination Centres : each Member State would nominate a national coordination centre to lead the Network, which would focus on developing new and expanded cybersecurity capabilities and expertise. The Network would identify and support the most relevant cybersecurity projects in Member States.

The Cybersecurity Competences Community : this would contribute to the mission of the Competence Centre by enhancing and disseminating cybersecurity expertise throughout the Union. It would involve a large and diverse group of actors involved in the development of cybersecurity technologies, such as research organisations, supply and demand side industries and the public sector.

BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the Union's contribution to the Competence Centre to cover administrative and operating costs includes the following elements:

EUR 1 981 668 000 from the Digital Europe Programme, of which up to EUR 23 746 000 for administrative costs; EUR 2.8 billion from the Horizon Europe programme, including for administrative costs; this contribution will be proposed by the Commission during the legislative process and, in any case, before a political agreement is reached.

events/12/summary
  • The Council adopted its position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology
  • and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres.
  • The proposed regulation aims to help the EU maintain and develop the technological and industrial cyber security capacities needed to secure its digital single market. It provides for the creation of structures at three institutional levels:
  • 1) a European Competence Centre for Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research (at EU level),
  • 2) a Network of National Coordination Centres (national level), and
  • 3) a Cybersecurity Competence Community (at stakeholder level).
  • Mission of the Competence Centre and the Network
  • The mission of the Competence Centre and the Network is to help the Union to:
  • - strengthen its leadership and strategic autonomy in the area of cybersecurity by retaining and developing the Union’s research, academic, societal, technological and industrial cybersecurity capacities and capabilities necessary to enhance trust and security, including the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of data, in the Digital Single Market;
  • - support Union technological capacities, capabilities and skills in relation to the resilience and reliability of the infrastructure of network and information systems, including critical infrastructure and commonly used hardware and software in the Union; and
  • - increase the global competitiveness of the Union’s cybersecurity industry, ensure high cybersecurity standards throughout the Union and turn cybersecurity into a competitive advantage for other Union industries.
  • Centre of Competence
  • The Centre’s aim would be to ensure closer coordination between research and innovation and the deployment of strategies at both national and EU level, and to enable Member States to take decisions on their financial contribution to joint actions.
  • The Competence Centre should:
  • - implement research and innovation actions (supported by the Horizon Europe programme) as well as capacity building actions (supported by the Digital Europe programme);
  • - support, together with Member States, the build-up and procurement of advanced cybersecurity equipment, tools and data infrastructure in Europe and ensure wide deployment of the latest cybersecurity solutions across the economy; to this end, the Competence Centre would also be able to facilitate the shared acquisition of capacities on behalf of Member States.
  • Organisation of the Centre of Competence
  • The Competence Centre would be based in Bucharest and would have a Governing Board composed of representatives of the Member States and the Commission, responsible for defining the general direction of the Competence Centre’s operations and should ensure that the Competence Centre carries out its tasks in accordance with this Regulation.
  • The Strategic Advisory Group - consisting of up to 20 members - would provide advice based on a regular dialogue between the Competence Centre and the cyber security competence community.
  • The European Union Agency for Cyber Security (ENISA) would be a permanent observer on the Governing Board of the Centre of Competence and may provide advice and input on the drafting of the strategy and the annual and multi-annual work programmes.
  • The Council position includes new articles on gender balance and on the legal personality of the Centre of Competence.
  • Voting rules
  • The Governing Board should use a consensual approach in its discussions. A vote should be held if the members of the Governing Board fail to achieve a consensus.
  • For certain decisions related to the implementation of the Union's budget, as well as for the annual work programme, the multi-annual work programme and the method of calculating Member States' contributions, the Commission would have 26% of the voting rights. The Governing Board would adopt its decisions by a majority of at least 75% of the votes of all its members.
  • National coordination centres
  • No later than six months after the date of entry into force of the Regulation, each Member State would designate an entity to act as its national coordination centre.
  • The national coordination centres would act as national contact points for the Community to assist the Competence Centre in fulfilling its mission and objectives, in particular, to coordinate the Community through coordination between its members in their Member State.
  • Cybersecurity Competence Community
  • The Community will contribute to the mission of the Competence Centre and the Network and will enhance, share and disseminate cybersecurity expertise across the EU.
  • The Community would be composed of collective bodies/organisations and would not include individuals. The Competence Centre and its bodies could draw on the expertise of individuals and natural persons as ad hoc experts.

  • date: 2018-09-12T00:00:00 docs: title: SWD(2018)0403 summary: The Commission staff working document presents the impact assessment accompanying the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres. The European Union has already put in place a number of policy and regulatory instruments to address fast evolving cyber threats and to secure its society, economy and democracy against them. However, at present, the EU still lacks sufficient technological and industrial capacities to autonomously secure its economy and critical infrastructures and to become a global leader in cybersecurity field. There are still problems relating to the EU's insufficient cybersecurity technological and industrial capacities. To this end, it aims to address the following problems: insufficient level of strategic and sustainable coordination and cooperation between industries, cybersecurity research communities and governments to shield economy, society and democracy with leading-edge European cybersecurity solutions; sub-scale investment and limited access to cybersecurity know- how, skills and facilities across Europe; few European cybersecurity research and innovation outcomes translated into marketable solutions and widely deployed across the economy. The following options were looked at: Option 1: Cybersecurity Competence Network with a European Cybersecurity Industrial and Research Competence Centre entity empowered to pursue measures in support of industrial technologies as well as in the domain of research and innovation. Option 2: Cybersecurity Competence Network with a European Cybersecurity Research and Competence Centre limited to research and innovation activities only. Preferred option : t he chosen option (option 1) is the creation of a Network of Cybersecurity Competence Centres with a European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technological and Research Competence Centre empowered to take action in favour of industrial technologies as well as in the field of research and innovation. According to the Commission, it represents the best instrument capable to implement the goals of the initiative while offering the highest economic, societal, and environmental impact and safeguarding the Union’s interests. The main arguments in favour of setting the European Cybersecurity Industrial and Research Competence Centre supporting the Network as an EU entity based on art. 173 and 187 TFEU (autonomous EU legal entity, with its own budget, staff, structure, rules and governance) are: it ensures flexibility to allow different cooperation models with the network of competence centres to optimise the use of existing knowledge and resources including financial tools and other incentives supporting members of the network; it provides a visible legal, contractual and organisational common framework to structure the joint commitments of the public and private stakeholders coming from all relevant sectors, including defence; it allows for the creation of a real cybersecurity industrial policy by supporting activities related not only to research and development but also to market deployment activities; it can act as an implementation mechanism for different EU cybersecurity funding streams under the next Multi-annual financial framework (Digital Europe Programme, Horizon Europe) and enhance synergies between the civilian and defence dimensions of cybersecurity in relation to the European Defence Fund. type: Document attached to the procedure body: EC

To this end, it aims to address the following problems: · insufficient level of strategic and sustainable coordination and cooperation between industries, cybersecurity research communities and governments to shield economy, society and democracy with leading-edge European cybersecurity solutions; · sub-scale investment and limited access to cybersecurity know- how, skills and facilities across Europe; · few European cybersecurity research and innovation outcomes translated into marketable solutions and widely deployed across the economy. Solutions : a number of policy options have been considered, both legislative and non-legislative. The option chosen is the creation of a Network of Cybersecurity Competence Centres with a European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technological and Research Competence Centre empowered to take action in favour of industrial technologies as well as in the field of research and innovation. The creation of the Competence Centre would be based on a dual legal basis due to its nature and specific objectives, namely Articles 187 and 173 TFEU . The analysis showed that this option is the most appropriate to achieve the goals of the initiative, while ensuring the best economic, societal and environmental benefits and safeguarding the best interests of the Union. The initiative would add value to current national efforts: by helping to create an inter-connected, Europe-wide cybersecurity industrial and research ecosystem ; by encouraging better cooperation between relevant stakeholders (including between cybersecurity civilian and defence sectors) to make the best use of existing cybersecurity resources and expertise spread across Europe. Impacts of the preferred option : the expected benefits would be as follows: the possibility for public authorities and industries across Member States to more effectively prevent and respond to cyber threats by offering and equipping itself with more secure products and solutions. This is in particular relevant for the protection of access to essential services (e.g. transport, health, banking and financial services); the creation of a mechanism capable of building Member States' and Union's cybersecurity industrial capacities and effectively translating European scientific excellence into marketable solutions that could be deployed across the economy; pooling resources to invest in the necessary capacities at Member State level and develop common European assets while achieving economies of scale; the possibility for SMEs , industries and researchers to have increased access to infrastructure; the reduction of the costs of designing new products for SMEs and open up opportunities in terms of costs reduction for the design of new products and it will help them gain easier access to the investors' community and attract the necessary funding to deploy marketable solutions; allowing defence and civilian communities to work together on shared challenges; improving coherence and synergies between different funding mechanism; an indirect positive impact on the environment could be achieved through developing specific cybersecurity solutions for sectors having potentially huge environmental impact (e.g. nuclear power plants). This initiative has a clear positive impact as it is likely to substantially increase Member States' capacities to autonomously secure their economies, including protecting the critical sectors, increasing competitiveness of European cybersecurity businesses as well as industries across different sectors. This should ultimately allow the EU to become a leader in the next-generation digital and cybersecurity technologies. type: Document attached to the procedure body: EC

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council. BACKGROUND: cybersecurity is an issue of common interest of the Union . Future security depends, among others, on enhancing technological and industrial ability to protect the Union against cyber threats, as both civilian infrastructure and military capacities rely on secure digital systems. Following the 2013 cybersecurity strategy , the Union has continued to increase its activities to meet the growing challenges of cybersecurity: in 2016, the Union adopted its first measures in the area of cybersecurity through Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council on security of network and information systems; the creation in 2016 of the Public-Private Partnership (‘cPPP’) on cybersecurity in the Union was a solid first step bringing together the research, industry and public sector communities to facilitate research and innovation in cybersecurity and within the limits of the 2014-2020 financial framework should result in good, more focused outcomes in research and innovation. It will have triggered up to EUR 1.8 billion of investment by 2020; in September 2017, the Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy presented a joint Communication on ‘Resilience, Deterrence and Defence: Building strong cybersecurity for the EU’ to further reinforce the Union’s resilience, deterrence and response to cyber-attacks; at the Tallinn Digital Summit in September 2017, Heads of State and Government called on the Union to become a global leader in the field of cybersecurity by 2025. With more than 660 cyber security competence centres throughout the EU, the EU already has considerable expertise in this area. However, the efforts of the research and industry communities are fragmented, lacking alignment and a common mission, which hinders the EU's competitiveness in this field. The Commission considers that t hese efforts and expertise need to be pooled , networked and used in an efficient manner to reinforce and complement existing research, technology and industrial capacities at Union and national levels. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: among the main arguments in favour of the selected option were: the ability to create a real cybersecurity industrial policy by supporting activities related not only to research and development but also to market deployment; the flexibility to allow different cooperation models with the community and the network of competence centres to optimise the use of existing knowledge and resources; the ability to structure cooperation of the public and private stakeholders coming from all relevant sectors, including defence. CONTENT: this Regulation proposes to establish the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre , as well as the Network of National Coordination Centres , and lays down rules for the nomination of National Coordination Centres as well as for the establishment of the Cybersecurity Competence Community. The Competence Centre : its role would be to facilitate the work of the Network of National Coordination Centres and to enhance the cybersecurity competences, by driving the cybersecurity technological agenda and facilitating access to the expertise so gathered. To this end, it would coordinate the use of cybersecurity funds under the EU's next long-term budget for the period 2021-2027 under the Digital Europe Programme and the Horizon Europe Programme . Its objectives would be: · to enhance cybersecurity capabilities, knowledge and infrastructures at the service of industries, the public sector and research communities; · to contribute to the wide deployment of the latest cyber security products and solutions across the economy; · to improve the understanding of cybersecurity and contribute to reducing skills gaps in the Union related to cybersecurity; · to contribute to the reinforcement of cybersecurity research and development in the Union; · to enhance synergies between the civilian and defence dimensions of cybersecurity. The Competence Centre would be set up as a European partnership to facilitate joint investment by the Union, Member States and/or industry. Therefore, the proposal requires Member States to contribute a commensurate amount to the actions of the Competence Centre and Network. The principal decision-making body is the Governing Board, in which all Member States take part but only those Member States which participate financially have voting rights. The Network of National Coordination Centres : each Member State would nominate a national coordination centre to lead the Network, which would focus on developing new and expanded cybersecurity capabilities and expertise. The Network would identify and support the most relevant cybersecurity projects in Member States. The Cybersecurity Competences Community : this would contribute to the mission of the Competence Centre by enhancing and disseminating cybersecurity expertise throughout the Union. It would involve a large and diverse group of actors involved in the development of cybersecurity technologies, such as research organisations, supply and demand side industries and the public sector. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the Union's contribution to the Competence Centre to cover administrative and operating costs includes the following elements: EUR 1 981 668 000 from the Digital Europe Programme, of which up to EUR 23 746 000 for administrative costs; EUR 2.8 billion from the Horizon Europe programme, including for administrative costs; this contribution will be proposed by the Commission during the legislative process and, in any case, before a political agreement is reached.

  • PURPOSE: to pool resources and expertise in the field of cybersecurity technologies.

    PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

    ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

    BACKGROUND: cybersecurity is an issue of common interest of the Union. Future security depends, among others, on enhancing technological and industrial ability to protect the Union against cyber threats, as both civilian infrastructure and military capacities rely on secure digital systems.

    Following the 2013 cybersecurity strategy, the Union has continued to increase its activities to meet the growing challenges of cybersecurity:

    • in 2016, the Union adopted its first measures in the area of cybersecurity through Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council on security of network and information systems;
    • the creation in 2016 of the Public-Private Partnership  (‘cPPP’) on cybersecurity in the Union was a solid first step bringing together the research, industry and public sector communities to facilitate research and innovation in cybersecurity and within the limits of the 2014-2020 financial framework should result in good, more focused outcomes in research and innovation. It will have triggered up to EUR 1.8 billion of investment by 2020;
    • in September 2017, the Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy presented a joint Communication on ‘Resilience, Deterrence and Defence: Building strong cybersecurity for the EU’ to further reinforce the Union’s resilience, deterrence and response to cyber-attacks;
    • at the Tallinn Digital Summit in September 2017, Heads of State and Government called on the Union to become a global leader in the field of cybersecurity by 2025.

    With more than 660 cyber security competence centres throughout the EU, the EU already has considerable expertise in this area. However, the efforts of the research and industry communities are fragmented, lacking alignment and a common mission, which hinders the EU's competitiveness in this field.

    The Commission considers that these efforts and expertise need to be pooled, networked and used in an efficient manner to reinforce and complement existing research, technology and industrial capacities at Union and national levels.

    IMPACT ASSESSMENT: among the main arguments in favour of the selected option were:

    • the ability to create a real cybersecurity industrial policy by supporting activities related not only to research and development but also to market deployment;
    • the flexibility to allow different cooperation models with the community and the network of competence centres to optimise the use of existing knowledge and resources;
    • the ability to structure cooperation of the public and private stakeholders coming from all relevant sectors, including defence.

    CONTENT: this Regulation proposes to establish the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre, as well as the Network of National Coordination Centres, and lays down rules for the nomination of National Coordination Centres as well as for the establishment of the Cybersecurity Competence Community.

    The Competence Centre: its role would be to facilitate the work of the Network of National Coordination Centres and to enhance the cybersecurity competences, by driving the cybersecurity technological agenda and facilitating access to the expertise so gathered.

    To this end, it would coordinate the use of cybersecurity funds under the EU's next long-term budget for the period 2021-2027 under the Digital Europe Programme and the Horizon Europe Programme. Its objectives would be:

    ·         to enhance cybersecurity capabilities, knowledge and infrastructures at the service of industries, the public sector and research communities;

    ·         to contribute to the wide deployment of the latest cyber security products and solutions across the economy;

    ·         to improve the understanding of cybersecurity and contribute to reducing skills gaps in the Union related to cybersecurity;

    ·         to contribute to the reinforcement of cybersecurity research and development in the Union;

    ·         to enhance synergies between the civilian and defence dimensions of cybersecurity.

    The Competence Centre would be set up as a European partnership to facilitate joint investment by the Union, Member States and/or industry. Therefore, the proposal requires Member States to contribute a commensurate amount to the actions of the Competence Centre and Network. The principal decision-making body is the Governing Board, in which all Member States take part but only those Member States which participate financially have voting rights.

    The Network of National Coordination Centres: each Member State would nominate a national coordination centre to lead the Network, which would focus on developing new and expanded cybersecurity capabilities and expertise. The Network would identify and support the most relevant cybersecurity projects in Member States.

    The Cybersecurity Competences Community: this would contribute to the mission of the Competence Centre by enhancing and disseminating cybersecurity expertise throughout the Union. It would involve a large and diverse group of actors involved in the development of cybersecurity technologies, such as research organisations, supply and demand side industries and the public sector.

    BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the Union's contribution to the Competence Centre to cover administrative and operating costs includes the following elements:

    • EUR 1 981 668 000 from the Digital Europe Programme, of which up to EUR 23 746 000 for administrative costs;
    • EUR 2.8 billion from the Horizon Europe programme, including for administrative costs; this contribution will be proposed by the Commission during the legislative process and, in any case, before a political agreement is reached.
