EURAM is working to build a basic common methodology for the analysis of interdependencies between Critical Infrastructures (CI) of the same sectors and between See critical infrastructure

The security and economy of the EU, as well as the well-being of its citizens, depends on certain infrastructures and the services they provide. The destruction or disruption of key infrastructures could entail the loss of lives and property, as well as a collapse in public confidence. In order to counteract these potential vulnerabilities, in 2004 the European Council requested the development of a European Programme for Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) is the study, design and implemen-tation of measures (pro-action, prevention, preparation, incident response, recovery) aimed to reduce the risk that critical infrastructure fails with serious consequences and..

[Click for more information]risk management procedures exist or are under development in different Member States for various sectors and threats, there is a need for a wider coordination of these procedures. This could include some common basic elements and transversal approach within a sector in different Member States, with one or more Member States and other sectors. The lack of a cross-sector approach leads to duplication and fragmentation, problems of interoperability and cost-efficiency of security systems and infrastructures, especially when solutions for the protection of The European Council Directive 2008/114/EC defines: ‘Critical infrastructure’ (CI) means an asset, system or part thereof located in Member States which is essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions, health, safety, security, economic..
