Article 12
Compliance
1. The IICB shall, pursuant to Article 10(2) and Article 11, effectively monitor the implementation of this Regulation and of adopted guidelines, recommendations and calls for action by the Union_entities. The IICB may request information or documentation necessary for that purpose from the Union_entities. For the purpose of adopting compliance measures under this Article, where the Union entity concerned is directly represented on the IICB, that Union entity shall not have voting rights.
2. Where the IICB finds that a Union entity has not effectively implemented this Regulation or guidelines, recommendations or calls for action issued pursuant thereto, it may, without prejudice to the internal procedures of the Union entity concerned, and after giving an opportunity to the Union entity concerned to present its observations:
| (a) | communicate a reasoned opinion to the Union entity concerned with observed gaps in the implementation of this Regulation; |
| (b) | provide, after consulting CERT-EU, guidelines to the Union entity concerned to ensure that its Framework, cybersecurity risk-management measures, cybersecurity plan and reporting comply with this Regulation within a specified period; |
| (c) | issue a warning to address identified shortcomings within a specified period, including recommendations to amend measures adopted by the Union entity concerned pursuant to this Regulation; |
| (d) | issue a reasoned notification to the Union entity concerned, in the event that shortcomings identified in a warning issued pursuant to point (c) were not sufficiently addressed within the specified period; |
| (e) | issue:
|
| (f) | if applicable, inform the Court of Auditors, within the remit of its mandate, of the alleged non-compliance; |
| (g) | issue a recommendation that all Member States and Union_entities implement a temporary suspension of data flows to the Union entity concerned. |
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c), the audience of a warning shall be restricted appropriately, where necessary in view of the cybersecurity risk.
Warnings and recommendations issued pursuant to the first subparagraph shall be directed to the highest_level_of_management of the Union entity concerned.
3. Where the IICB has adopted measures under paragraph 2, first subparagraph, points (a) to (g), the Union entity concerned shall provide details of the measures and actions taken to address the alleged shortcomings identified by the IICB. The Union entity shall submit those details within a reasonable period to be agreed with the IICB.
4. Where the IICB considers that there is persistent infringement of this Regulation by a Union entity resulting directly from actions or omissions of an official or other servant of the Union, including at the highest_level_of_management, the IICB shall request that the Union entity concerned take appropriate action, including requesting it to consider taking action of a disciplinary nature, in accordance with the rules and procedures laid down in the Staff Regulations and any other applicable rules and procedures. To that end, the IICB shall transfer the necessary information to the Union entity concerned.
5. Where Union_entities notify that they are unable to meet the deadlines set out in Article 6(1) and Article 8(1), the IICB may, in duly substantiated cases, taking into account the size of the Union entity, authorise the extension of those deadlines.
CHAPTER IV

Article 20
Cybersecurity information-sharing arrangements
1. Union_entities may, on a voluntary basis, notify CERT-EU of, and provide it with information on, incidents, cyber_threats, near_misses and vulnerabilities that affect them. CERT-EU shall ensure that efficient means of communication, with a high level of traceability, confidentiality and reliability, are available for the purpose of facilitating information sharing with the Union_entities. When processing notifications, CERT-EU may prioritise the processing of mandatory notifications over voluntary notifications. Without prejudice to Article 12, voluntary notification shall not result in the imposition of any additional obligations upon the reporting Union entity to which it would not have been subject had it not submitted the notification.
2. To perform its mission and tasks conferred pursuant to Article 13, CERT-EU may request Union_entities to provide it with information from their respective ICT system inventories, including information relating to cyber_threats, near_misses, vulnerabilities, indicators of compromise, cybersecurity alerts and recommendations regarding configuration of cybersecurity tools to detect incidents. The requested Union entity shall transmit the requested information, and any subsequent updates thereto, without undue delay.
3. CERT-EU may exchange incident-specific information with Union_entities which reveals the identity of the Union entity affected by the incident, provided that the Union entity affected consents. Where a Union entity withholds its consent, it shall provide CERT-EU with reasons substantiating that decision.
4. Union_entities shall, upon request, share information with the European Parliament and the Council on the completion of cybersecurity plans.
5. The IICB or CERT-EU, as applicable, shall, upon request, share guidelines, recommendations and calls for action with the European Parliament and the Council.
6. The sharing obligations laid down in this Article shall not extend to:
| (a) | EUCI; |
| (b) | information the further distribution of which has been excluded by means of a visible marking, unless the sharing thereof with CERT-EU has been explicitly allowed. |
