EIM-European Rail Infrastructure Managers
· · filed 10 Apr 2018 · source
EIM welcomes the evaluation of the Council Directive 2008/114/EC on the identification and designation of European critical infrastructures and the assessment of the need to improve their protection, initiated by the European Commission. EIM acknowledges that the terrorists threats in Europe put the critical infrastructures under a considerable amount of danger.
The Confederation of European Security Services (CoESS) acts as the voice of the private security industry which provides a wide range of services, both for private and public clients, including nuclear plants, airports, and many other Critical Infrastructure (CI) facilities. For example, about 60 per cent of all security services in European airports today is being outsourced to the private sector.
Water infrastructure, including both public drinking water distribution networks and waste water collection and treatment networks are usually local or, at the most, regional. Cross-border connections between these networks would be the extreme exception. Hence, the definition of ECI as infrastructures covering at least two Member States would not be applicable to the water sector.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
