(3) As a communication instrument without frontiers, digital information systems, and primarily the Internet play an essential role in facilitating the cross- border movement of goods, services and people, people and capital.

The resilience and, stability and interconnectedness of network and information systems is therefore essential to the smooth functioning of the internal market.
