Abstract

Critical infrastructure protection is crucial to enrich and
develop the four main freedoms of movement that settle the
single European market. Besides, due to the recent
developments related to the pandemic and energy crisis, the
critical infrastructure development and protection gets
different dimension. The EU has followed a sectoral
approach in this area, with activities scattered across
spheres of action led by a variety of institutional actors. In
principle, this provides an adapted approach to different
integrity needs and different legal competencies within the
policy spectrum, but as will be discussed later in this paper
, this also has important implications for a coherent and
holistic European response. Although there are several
sectoral legal bases for the protection of critical
infrastructure at EU level (for example, in the transport and
energy sectors), the founding agreements do not directly
address critical infrastructure protection issues directly.
Although the milestones of the protection of critical
infrastructure were settled more than a decade ago, the
basic framework has not changed much a cornerstone of
action that generates and allocates funding through
different programs and projects. The paper aims to provide
overall framework and general vision over the framework
of activities in the area that is pretty diverse.

Key words: critical infrastructure, acquis communautaire,
harmonization, subsidiarity, funding
