Article 16

Financial and staffing matters

1.   CERT-EU shall be integrated into the administrative structure of a directorate-general of the Commission in order to benefit from the Commission’s administrative, financial management and accounting support structures, while maintaining its status as an autonomous interinstitutional service provider for all Union_entities. The Commission shall inform the IICB of the administrative location of CERT-EU and any changes thereto. The Commission shall review the administrative arrangements related to CERT-EU on a regular basis and in any event before the establishment of any multiannual financial framework pursuant to Article 312 TFEU, in order to allow for appropriate action to be taken. The review shall include the possibility of establishing CERT-EU as a Union office.

2.   For the application of administrative and financial procedures, the Head of CERT-EU shall act under the authority of the Commission and under the supervision of the IICB.

3.   CERT-EU’s tasks and activities, including services provided by CERT-EU pursuant to Article 13(3), (4), (5) and (7) and Article 14(1) to Union_entities financed from the heading of the multiannual financial framework dedicated to European public administration, shall be funded by means of a distinct budget line of the Commission budget. The posts earmarked for CERT-EU shall be detailed in a footnote to the Commission establishment plan.

4.    Union_entities other than those referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article shall make an annual financial contribution to CERT-EU to cover the services provided by CERT-EU pursuant to that paragraph. The contributions shall be based on orientations given by the IICB and agreed between each Union entity and CERT-EU in service level agreements. The contributions shall represent a fair and proportionate share of the total costs of services provided. They shall be received by the distinct budget line referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article, as internal assigned revenue, as provided for in Article 21(3), point (c), of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046.

5.   The costs of the services provided for in Article 13(6) shall be recovered from the Union_entities receiving CERT-EU services. The revenues shall be assigned to the budget lines supporting the costs.

Article 17

Cooperation of CERT-EU with Member State counterparts

1.   CERT-EU shall, without undue delay, cooperate and exchange information with Member State counterparts, in particular the CSIRTs designated or established pursuant to Article 10 of Directive (EU) 2022/2555, or, where applicable, the competent authorities and single points of contact designated or established pursuant to Article 8 of that Directive, with regard to incidents, cyber_threats, vulnerabilities, near_misses, possible countermeasures as well as best practices and on all matters relevant for improving the protection of the ICT environments of Union_entities, including by means of the CSIRTs network established pursuant to Article 15 of Directive (EU) 2022/2555. CERT-EU shall support the Commission in EU-CyCLONe established pursuant to Article 16 of Directive (EU) 2022/2555 on the coordinated management of large-scale cybersecurity incidents and crises.

2.   Where CERT-EU becomes aware of a significant incident occurring within the territory of a Member State, it shall, without delay, notify any relevant counterpart in that Member State, in accordance with paragraph 1.

3.   provided that personal data are protected in accordance with applicable Union data protection law, CERT-EU shall, without undue delay, exchange relevant incident-specific information with Member State counterparts to facilitate detection of similar cyber_threats or incidents, or to contribute to the analysis of an incident, without the authorisation of the Union entity affected. CERT-EU shall exchange incident-specific information which reveals the identity of the target of the incident only in the event of one of the following:

(a)

the Union entity affected consents;

(b)

the Union entity affected does not consent as provided for in point (a) but the disclosure of the identity of the Union entity affected would increase the probability that incidents elsewhere would be avoided or mitigated;

(c)

the Union entity affected has already made public that it was affected.

Decisions to exchange incident-specific information which reveals the identity of the target of the incident pursuant to the first subparagraph, point (b), shall be endorsed by the Head of CERT-EU. Prior to issuing such a decision, CERT-EU shall contact the Union entity affected in writing, explaining clearly how the disclosure of its identity would help to avoid or mitigate incidents elsewhere. The Head of CERT-EU shall provide the explanation and explicitly request the Union entity to state whether it consents within a set timeframe. The Head of CERT-EU shall also inform the Union entity that, in light of the explanation provided, he or she reserves the right to disclose the information even in the absence of consent. The Union entity affected shall be informed before the information is disclosed.

Article 18

Cooperation of CERT-EU with other counterparts

1.   CERT-EU may cooperate with counterparts in the Union other than those referred to in Article 17 which are subject to Union cybersecurity requirements, including industry sector-specific counterparts, on tools and methods, such as techniques, tactics, procedures and best practices, and on cyber_threats and vulnerabilities. For all cooperation with such counterparts, CERT-EU shall seek prior approval from the IICB on a case-by-case basis. Where CERT-EU establishes cooperation with such counterparts, it shall inform any relevant Member State counterparts referred to in Article 17(1), in the Member State in which the counterpart is located. Where applicable and appropriate, such cooperation and the conditions thereof, including regarding cybersecurity, data protection and information handling, shall be established in specific confidentiality arrangements such as contracts or administrative arrangements. The confidentiality arrangements shall not require prior approval by the IICB, but the Chair of the IICB shall be informed. In the case of an urgent and imminent need to exchange cybersecurity information in the interests of Union_entities or another party, CERT-EU may do so with an entity whose specific competence, capacity and expertise are justifiably required to assist with such an urgent and imminent need, even if CERT-EU does not have a confidentiality arrangement in place with that entity. In such cases, CERT-EU shall immediately inform the Chair of the IICB, and shall report to the IICB by means of regular reports or meetings.

2.   CERT-EU may cooperate with partners, such as commercial entities, including industry sector-specific entities, international organisations, non-Union national entities or individual experts, to gather information on general and specific cyber_threats, near_misses, vulnerabilities and possible countermeasures. For wider cooperation with such partners, CERT-EU shall seek prior approval from the IICB on a case-by-case basis.

3.   CERT-EU may, with the consent of the Union entity affected by an incident and provided that a non-disclosure arrangement or contract is in place with the relevant counterpart or partner, provide information related to the specific incident to counterparts or partners referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 solely for the purpose of contributing to its analysis.

CHAPTER V

COOPERATION AND REPORTING OBLIGATIONS

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.
