Article 8 Entités critiques des secteurs des banques, des infrastructures des marchés financiers et des infrastructures numériques


Summary What does Article 8 of the CER directive say?

Article 8 functions as a carve-out provision, establishing that certain critical entities are exempt from key obligations that apply to critical entities more broadly under this Directive.

Specifically, critical entities identified in the banking, financial market infrastructure, and digital infrastructure sectors (points 3, 4 and 8 of the Annex) are excluded from the cross-border consultation requirements of Article 11 and from the resilience obligations, incident notification rules, and supervision and enforcement provisions found in Chapters III, IV and VI.

This exemption exists because those sectors are already subject to equivalent obligations under other Union legal acts, notably DORA and NIS2.

Member States retain the ability to go further under national law, provided they stay within the bounds of applicable Union law.

Important points:

  • Member States are required to ensure that critical entities in the banking, financial market infrastructure, and digital infrastructure sectors are not subject to Article 11 or Chapters III, IV and VI of this Directive.
  • This article acts as an exception to the general obligations placed on critical entities throughout the Directive, reflecting that these sectors are governed by sector-specific Union rules.
  • Member States may adopt or maintain national provisions to achieve a higher level of resilience for these entities, as long as those provisions are consistent with applicable Union law.

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

Les États membres veillent à ce que l’article 11 et les chapitres III, IV et VI ne s’appliquent pas aux entités critiques qu’ils ont recensées dans les secteurs figurant aux points 3, 4 et 8 du tableau de l’annexe. Les États membres peuvent adopter ou maintenir des dispositions de droit national afin d’atteindre un niveau de résilience plus élevé pour ces entités critiques à condition que ces dispositions soient compatibles avec le droit de l’Union applicable.
