The European Commission has closed a procedure against Bulgaria regarding cybersecurity
The European Commission has officially closed the infringement procedure against Bulgaria, which was initiated due to delays in implementing European cybersecurity rules. The decision comes after our country met the necessary requirements and provided the required information to the institutions in Brussels.
The procedure was launched because Bulgaria had not notified the Commission in time about the transposition of the Directive on security of network and information systems into its national legislation. This legal act is of great importance for the protection of critical infrastructure throughout the European Union.
In recent months, Bulgarian institutions have worked actively to correct the shortcomings and bring local rules into line with European standards. The implementation of these measures ensures a higher level of protection against cyberattacks for state systems and important online services in the country.
The closure of this procedure is positive news for Bulgaria, as it removes the risk of financial sanctions being imposed. It shows that our country is making efforts to comply with common European norms, which aim for a safer digital environment for all citizens and businesses.
In the future, Bulgaria will continue to work on strengthening its cyber defense to meet new challenges in the digital world. Compliance with these directives is key to maintaining trust between our country and its European partners.
