Organised under the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the discussions of EU ministers focused on key topics including cybersecurity as a foundation of EU stability, enhancing civil-military cooperation in response to emerging challenges, and investing in greater resilience to large-scale threats.

The ECCC was represented by Executive Director Luca Tagliaretti. In a session dedicated to investments in cybersecurity, he highlighted the role of the centre to increase Europe’s cybersecurity capacities and competitiveness and outlined three priorities: simplify access to funding for SMEs, boost cybersecurity skills and education, and scale up dual use technology. 

The Warsaw Call Declaration, which was unanimously adopted at the informal TTE Telecom Council, sets out thirteen recommendations to guide the EU’s cybersecurity efforts, including: 

“Emphasise the importance of further harmonising actions towards investments in cybersecurity, and of supporting the mission of the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC) to create a strong and competitive European ecosystem of cybersecurity companies. Underline the benefit of creating synergies between defence and civilian investments and between the research, investment and business sectors in cybersecurity to achieve the greatest benefits.”
