Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] Second, cooperation means cooperation between the countries of the EU. But that can only happen with some consistency, involving everyone: it shouldn't just be an exclusive club for the top performers. And across the EU, some countries are still not prepared enough: there are gaps in their capabilities. So we will propose that all EU countries equip themselves properly for network and information security: like by requiring each to have a well-functioning Computer Emergency Response Team. Member States would also need a competent authority for network and information security, who should cooperate at EU level, supported by the European Network and Information Security Agency.
