26 Dgital service providers effecting energy sectors (cross-sectorial effects) are identified 27 Within the NIS directive a ‘digital service’ is defined as: An online marketplace - An online search engine - A Cloud computing service. 28 Council Directive 2004/67/EC (3) established a legal framework at Community level to safeguard security of gas supply in the case of supply disruptions. 29 This is a cross-sectoral strategy which encompasses energy, finance, telcos, etc. Strategy for 2019-2024 will be published soon and will also be cross-sectoral. 30 In 2019 was published inter-institutional action plan, which covers several sectors, including energy.

Annex 2 – About CEER The Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) is the voice of Europe's national energy regulators. CEER’s members and observers comprise 39 national energy regulatory authorities (NRAs) from across Europe. CEER is legally established as a not-for-profit association under Belgian law, with a small Secretariat based in Brussels to assist the organisation. CEER supports its NRA members/observers in their responsibilities, sharing experience and developing regulatory capacity and best practices. It does so by facilitating expert working group meetings, hosting workshops and events, supporting the development and publication of regulatory papers, and through an in-house Training Academy. Through CEER, European NRAs cooperate and develop common position papers, advice and forward-thinking recommendations to improve the electricity and gas markets for the benefit of consumers and businesses. In terms of policy, CEER actively promotes an investment friendly, harmonised regulatory environment and the consistent application of existing EU legislation. A key objective of CEER is to facilitate the creation of a single, competitive, efficient and sustainable Internal Energy Market in Europe that works in the consumer interest. Specifically, CEER deals with a range of energy regulatory issues including wholesale and retail markets; consumer issues; distribution networks; smart grids; flexibility; sustainability; and international cooperation. CEER wishes to thank in particular the following regulatory experts for their work in preparing this report: Leontini Kaffetzaki, Roman Picard, Stefano Bracco and special thanks to Liselotte Gijzemijter. More information is available at www.ceer.eu.
