European Critical Infrastructure Protection

The Recent European Council Directive 11408 Requested The Eu Member States To Perform An Assessment Aimed At The Identification And Designation Of The So-called European Critical Infrastructures (eci). Every Analysis Of The Results Of The First Round Of Identifications And Designations Has Only Taken Into Account The Numbers Of Ecis Effectively Designated, Consequently Leaving Aside All Of The Other Elements Related To This Important Path Towards A Harmonized Vision Of The European Security. This Work, With Its Unprecedented Approach, Focuses On The Elements That Have Maximized Or Frustrated The Ambitious European Objectives And On The Issues That Might Have Prevented The Directive Reaching Its Full Potential.
