European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA): duration

The Council reached a general approach on a proposal for a regulation amending Regulation 460/2006 establishing the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) as regards its duration (see Council doc. 10338/08).

Ministers agreed to extend the ENISA's mandate for 3 years.

This time will be used to enable further discussions on ENISA and allow reflection on the general direction of the European efforts towards an increased network and information security.

The Commission was invited to contribute to these discussions.
