Article 11 Coopération entre États membres


Summary What does Article 11 of the CER directive say?

This article addresses cross-border cooperation between Member States, specifically in situations where critical entities have a footprint or operational relevance that extends beyond a single Member State's borders.

It builds naturally on Article 6, which establishes how Member States identify critical entities, by recognising that some of those entities will have cross-border characteristics requiring coordinated oversight.

The article sets out three concrete scenarios that should trigger inter-Member State consultation, and clarifies the dual purpose of such consultations: improving resilience and, where possible, lightening the administrative load on the entities involved.

Important points:

  • Member States are required to consult one another on critical entities that operate across borders, whether through shared physical infrastructure, linked corporate structures, or the provision of essential services into other Member States.
  • The goal of these consultations is to ensure consistent application of the Directive across Member States.
  • Reducing the administrative burden on critical entities is an explicit secondary aim of the consultation process.

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

    1. Chaque fois que cela est approprié, les États membres se consultent mutuellement au sujet des entités critiques aux fins d’assurer l’application cohérente de la présente directive. Ces consultations ont lieu en particulier au sujet des entités critiques qui:

      1. utilisent des infrastructures critiques qui sont physiquement connectées entre deux États membres ou plus;

      2. font partie de structures d’entreprise qui sont connectées ou liées à des entités critiques dans d’autres États membres;

      3. ont été recensées en tant qu’entités critiques dans un État membre et fournissent des services essentiels à ou dans d’autres États membres.

    1. Les consultations visées au paragraphe 1 visent à renforcer la résilience des entités critiques et, si possible, à réduire la charge administrative pesant sur celles-ci.
