UFE’s position on the European Commission’s proposal for a Directive on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union, repealing Directive (EU) 2016/1148

UFE supports the extension of the scope of the Directive to more sectors and subsectors.

These requirements must be proportional to their capabilities and the cost of implementation relative to their size.
