Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) In order to ensure that all relevant entities are subject to those requirements and to reduce divergences in this respect, it is important to lay down harmonised rules allowing for a consistent identification of critical entities across the Union, while also allowing Member States to reflect national specificities in the relevant existing national sectors and subsectors on their territory listed in the Annex. Therefore, common criteria, based on minimum indicators and methodologies for each sector and sub-sector to identify critical entities should be laid down. In the interest of effectiveness, efficiency, consistency and legal certainty, appropriate rules should also be set on notification and cooperation relating to, as well as the legal consequences of, such identification. In order to enable the Commission to assess the correct application of this Directive, Member States should submit to the Commission, in a manner that is as detailed and specific as possible, relevant information and, in any event, the list of essential services, the number of critical entities identified for each existing national sector and subsector referred to in the Annex and the essential service or services that each entity provides and any thresholds applied.

The single point of contact should also liaise, and coordinate all communication, with the competent authorities of its Member State, with the single points of contact of other Member States, with the Critical Entities Resilience Group established by this Directive and with the single points of contacts of entities identified as critical entities under this Directive. To that end, the single points of contact should use efficient, secured, standardised and harmonised reporting channels.
