Wording it would add
(49a)To ensure that Directive (EU) 2022/2555 is applied consistently and proportionately across the Union and in line with the principle of administrative simplification and the ‘report-once’ policy, duplicative or unclear reporting obligations or diverging national interpretations and additional obligations should be avoided. The Commission should, in cooperation with the Cooperation Group referred to in Article 14 of Directive (EU) 2022/2555 and the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), issue guidance on the harmonised interpretation and application of key obligations under that Directive. These guidelines shall be developed under the relevant sectorial legislation.
Justification
The development of detailed guidance on sector-specific cybersecurity obligations should be addressed in the context of the revision of the Cybersecurity Act, which provides the appropriate framework for considering horizontal cybersecurity governance, certification and related guidance mechanisms. This approach ensures coherence between Directive (EU) 2022/2555 and the evolving Union cybersecurity framework, while allowing sector-specific legislation to define requirements reflecting the specific risks and operational characteristics of each sector. It also avoids duplication, divergent interpretations and additional administrative burdens for entities subject to multiple cybersecurity obligations.
