Summarises the main activities carried out by the Group which aims to provide guidance and input on horizontal aspects of cyber issues and exchange information on these matters. The group has convened six times and is attended by senior-level officials from the Member States, the Commission and the European External Action Service. Representatives of EU Agencies, in particular Europol, ENISA and EDA, were systematically involved in the Group's work for items within their competence.

See: Report on the activities carried out by the Friends of the Presidency Group on Cyber Issues for the period December 2012 to October 2013 (15317/13, pdf) and Report to delegations (13970/1/13 REV 1, pdf)

And see: Extension of the Friends of the Presidency Group mandate (15111/13, pdf)

Following discussions at the last Group meeting on 30 October, delegations "expressed their wish for an extension of the mandate with 3 years to fully anchor the Group in the Council's working landscape and to provide continuity and longer work span by maintaining at the same time its horizontal, strategic and cross-cutting nature."

Our work is only possible with your support.
