Amendment 12 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) Despite existing measures at Union19 and national level aimed at supporting the protection of critical infrastructures in the Union, the entities operating those infrastructures are not adequately equipped to address current and anticipated future risks to their operations that may result in disruptions of the provision of services that are essential for the performance of vital societal functions or economic activities, including traffic and transport. This is due to a dynamictangible threat landscape with an evolving terrorist threat and growing interdependencies between infrastructures and sectors, as well as an increased physical risk due to natural disasters and climate change, which increases the frequency and scale of extreme weather events and brings long-term changes in average climateextreme weather events that can reduce the capacity and efficiency of certain infrastructure types if measures to improve resilience or climate adaptation measureto the changing requirements are not in place. Moreover, relevant sectors and types of entities are not recognised consistently as critical in all Member States. _________________ 19European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP).

Proposal for a directive
Recital 3
(3) Those growing interdependencies are the result of an increasingly cross- border and interdependent network of service provision using key infrastructures across the Union in the sectors of energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, digital infrastructure, drinking and waste water, health, certain aspects of public administration, as well as space in as far as the provision of certain services depending on ground-based infrastructures that are owned, managed and operated either by Member States or by private parties is concerned, therefore not covering infrastructures owned, managed or operated by or on behalf of the Union as part of its space programmes. These interdependencies mean that any disruption, even one initially confined to one entity or one sector, can have cascading effects more broadly, potentially resulting in far-reaching and long-lasting negative impacts in the delivery of services across the internal market. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the vulnerability of our increasingly interdependent societies in the face of low-probability risks. and the strength of the interdependencies without which the EU-wide economy could not function.

Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) The entities involved in the provision of essential services are increasingly subject to diverging requirements imposed under the laws of the Member States. The fact that some Member States have less stringent security requirements on these entities not only risks impacting negatively on the maintenance of vital societal functions or economic activities across the Union, it also leads to obstacles to the proper functioning of the internal market and can pose a threat to EU citizens. Similar types of entities are considered as critical in some Member States but not in others, and those which are identified as critical are subject to divergent requirements in different Member States. This results in additional and unnecessary administrative burdens for companies operating across borders, notably for companies active in Member States with more stringent requirements.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 6
(6) In order to achieve that objective, Member States should identify critical entities that should be subject to specific requirements and oversight, but also particular support, protection and guidance aimed at achieving a high level of resilience in the face of all relevant risks.

Amendment 29 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7
(7) Certain sectors of the economy (7) such as energy and transport are already regulated or may be regulated in the future by sector-specific acts of Union law that contain rules related to certain aspects of resilience of entities operating in those sectors. In order to address in a comprehensive manner the resilience of those entities that are critical for the proper functioning of the internal market, those sector-specific measures should be complemented by the ones provided for in this Directive, which creates an overarching framework that addresses critical entities’ resilience in respect of all hazards and attacks, that is, natural and man-made, accidental and intentional.

Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 33
(33) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely to ensure the safe, undisturbed provision in the internal market of services essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions or economic activities and to enhance the resilience of critical entities providing such services, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather, by reason of the effects of the action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on the European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article 5, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.
