Artikel 3 Mindestharmonisierung


Summary What does Article 3 of the CER directive say?

This is a brief but important article that establishes the relationship between the Directive and national law.

It makes clear that the Directive sets a baseline standard for the resilience of critical entities, and that Member States are free to go further by adopting or maintaining stricter national provisions.

The only condition is that any such national rules must remain consistent with broader Union law obligations.

Important points:

  • Member States may adopt or maintain national laws that go beyond the requirements of this Directive for critical entities.
  • The Directive functions as a minimum standard, not a ceiling.
  • Any stricter national provisions must remain consistent with Member States' obligations under Union law.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Diese Richtlinie hindert die Mitgliedstaaten nicht daran, Bestimmungen des nationalen Rechts zur Erreichung eines höheren Resilienzniveaus für kritische Einrichtungen zu erlassen oder beizubehalten, sofern diese Bestimmungen mit den Pflichten der Mitgliedstaaten nach dem Unionsrecht im Einklang stehen.
