EU directive on network and information security: call for evidence
Read the full outcome
Detail of outcome
This call for evidence provided data for the BIS impact assessment on the proposal for the EU Network and Information Security Directive. As negotiations continue, BIS may publish further documents in regards to amendments on the Directive and seek views from UK stakeholders on these changes.
This evidence, in addition to the evidence gathered in discussions and the workshop that we held for a range of interested parties, will contribute to help the UK’s position in the ongoing European Union negotiations and feed into a qualitative impact assessment.
Original call for evidence
Call for evidence description
The European Commission published a proposal for a directive for network and information security on 7 February 2013. This was accompanied by a cyber security strategy that contains non-legislative measures on a broad range of issues. These documents can be found on the European Commission website.
The government is preparing an initial impact assessment on the potential effects of the directive in the UK and is launching this call for evidence to gather data to inform the evidence base for this assessment.
The prefered way to submit evidence is via the online response form, but you can submit evidence in a number of ways as explained in the document.
