This may be something EU chapters want to co-ordinate a campaign for:

 

Commission asks Member States to transpose into national laws the EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity 


The Commission decided today to send a letter of formal notice to 17 Member States to fully transpose into national laws the first piece of EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity. This decision affects the following Member States: Austria, Bulgaria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Spain. 


The objective of the Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS Directive <http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-18-3651_en.htm> ; Directive 2016/1148/EU <https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2016.194.01.0001.01.ENG&toc=OJ:L:2016:194:TOC> ) is to achieve evenly high level of security of network and information systems across the EU through the development of national cybersecurity capabilities, increasing EU-level cooperation and incident reporting obligations for operators of essential services and digital service providers. Member States had to transpose the NIS Directive into national laws by 9 May 2018 as it entered into force in August 2016. So far 11 Member States <https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/state-play-transposition-nis-directive>  have notified the European Commission of the full transposition of the Directive and are in the process of a transposition check with a view to confirm the full transposition. The other Member States have two months to respond to the formal notice sent by the Commission; otherwise, the Commission may decide to send a reasoned opinion.
