• There is a 10  to 20  probability that telecom
  networks will be hit by a major breakdown in the
  next 10 years, with a potential global economic
  cost of around 193 billion. This could be caused
  by natural disasters, hardware failures, rupture
  of submarine cables (there were 50 incidents
  recorded in the Atlantic Ocean in 2007 alone), as
  well as from human actions such as terrorism or
  cyber attacks (such as the large-scale cyber
  attacks directed at Estonia in 2007), which are
  becoming more and more sophisticated. EU COM

• .....machine has started to move also visibly in
  the year 2007, specially to mention the base
  study Protecting Europe from large scale cyber
  attacks and disruptions enhancing preparedness,
  security and resilience, by 7 authors and about
  fifty collaborators. This expertise and later on
  political decision by Commission lead on to
  action that (on) 30 March 2009, the
  European Commission adopted a communication
  calling for action to protect critical
  information infrastructures by making the EU
  more prepared for and resistant to cyber
  attacks and disruptions.

  cooperation, exchange of information and transfer
  of good policy practices between Member States
  via a European Forum. Establishing a European
  Public-Private Partnership for Resilience which
  will help businesses to share experience and

• ....we frequently forget the CII in some sense
  actually bares a twofold sense of criticality,
  since in many cases the information
  infrastructure provides support to other types of
  critical infrastructures like energy, transport,
  logistics and others....

• ...finding the ENISA, as an excellent agency
  which tasks and roles in this field should be
  further enhancednot to mention that during
  Slovenian presidency of the council of the EU ,
  the mandate of ENISA has been extended for
  further three years, and some desires of the
  cession of ENISA has been blocked. We are
  welcoming also results of Conference on CII in
  Tallin, Estonia a week ago, during Czech
  Presidency. This all leads to the conclusions
  related to Pan European initiative on general
  CIIP, as the all European information space is
  already reality !
