Abstract
AbstractThe Directive 114/08 on the protection of European critical infrastructures (ECIs) aimed to identify a common approach to the protection of those assets which destruction or disruption might have a significant impact across (mostly, neighbouring) Member States. All the Member States have implemented this Directive, but outcomes are strongly uneven and harmonisation of protection is far from being reached. The commitment of Member States to the substantive implementation of the Directive varied widely across Europe. By comparing and contrasting paradigmatic national experiences, this article aims to address the main issues emerging from such a fragmented regulatory framework and to assess its critical hurdles. The article focuses on three national experiences: United Kingdom (UK) and Italy as paradigmatic examples of countries with consolidated national experience in critical infrastructure protection (CIP), but with weak commitment to the European regulatory framework; and Romania as a case of a new accession country with strong commitment to the European policies and a proactive approach to the Europeanisation of CIP.
