CER Working Group meeting in Rome

On 15 April 2026, the second meeting of the Working Group on the “Critical Entities Resilience (CER)” Directive was held at the headquarters of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane in Rome. During the meeting, participants shared updates on the transposition and implementation of the Directive in their respective countries, highlighting differences in national governance models as well as common challenges related to the interpretation of the requirements and their operational application.

The discussion explored in depth the impacts on the railway sector, with particular focus on risk management, operational continuity, and coordination with the competent authorities, underscoring the need for a more coherent and harmonised European approach.

Considerable attention was also devoted to the exchange of experiences and best practices, a key element in fostering a consistent interpretation of the regulatory framework and in supporting the development of pragmatic and commonly agreed solutions at European level.
