| 21 a. Recalls that the introduction of digital services entails specific challenges, including increased exposure to cybersecurity threats; underlines, in this context, that the EU’s cybersecurity framework must prioritise the prevention and mitigation of cyber-attacks over the fulfilment of bureaucratic procedures; calls, therefore, in view of the upcoming Digital Simplification Package for a review of cybersecurity-related obligations spanning horizontal (NIS2, CRA), sector-specific (e.g., DORA, NCCS), national, EU-level, and international policies (e.g., cybersecurity standards, certification schemes); recommends in that regard the application of the one-stop-shop principle in incident reporting, the reduction of reporting obligations to those incidents with material impact, and the establishment of a coherent definition of the country of main establishment; calls further for the inclusion of adequate liability exemption clauses to protect businesses from unintended spill-over effects resulting from mandatory notifications to public authorities across relevant legal acts; consider that it may be necessary to delay the implementation of individual acts to leave sufficient time to develop and integrate standards in the products and services; |
