Information

The NIS Directive is the first piece of EU-wide cyber-security legislation. It requires Member States to ensure that key public and private entities (so called ‘operators of essential services’) in seven sectors (energy, transport, banking, financial infrastructures, health, drinking water and digital infrastructures) take appropriate security measures and notify significant incidents to national authorities. The Directive places particular emphasis on European cooperation: It establishes best practices and align rules. The NIS Directive has been adopted in July 2016 and is part of a set of legislative measures aiming to increase cyber-security throughout the Union. It also includes the recently agreed Cybersecurity Act.

European Commission Representation in LuxembourgThe European Commission Representation in Luxembourg is established in the Maison de l’Union européenne, in Luxembourg City. The representation is the European Commission’s local presence in Luxembourg. The Commission has representations in all of the 27 EU Member States’ capital cities, together with several regional offices in the larger Member States. The representation’s role is to act as a link between the Commission and Luxembourg, in particular by informing interested parties and the general public about the Commission’s proposals and EU policies. It does so by organising a great variety of events each year, mostly online during the COVID-19 pandemic. For more info on the brochures available at the European information Centre, we invite you to contact the following number +352 43 01 37 833 or email comm-rep-lux-info@ec.europa.eu.
