Recital 18

Directive (EU) 2022/2557 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on the resilience of critical entities and repealing Council Directive 2008/114/EC (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(18) Criteria should be established to determine the significance of a disruptive effect produced by an incident. Those criteria should build on the criteria set out in Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) in order to capitalise on the efforts carried out by Member States to identify operators of essential services as defined in that Directive and the experience gained in that regard. Major crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have shown the importance of ensuring the security of the supply chain and have demonstrated how its disruption can have a negative economic and societal impact across a large number of sectors and across borders. Therefore, Member States should also consider effects on the supply chain, to the extent possible, when determining the extent to which other sectors and subsectors depend on the essential service provided by a critical entity.
