Commission refers Ireland, Spain, France and the Netherlands to the Court of Justice for failing to transpose the rules on cybersecurity

What happened

Today, July 8, 2026, the European Commission decided to refer Ireland, Spain, France, and the Netherlands to the Court of Justice of the European Union. This action is due to their "failing to notify measures transposing the NIS2 Directive on securing network and information systems (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) into national law."
