Comme le montrent les incidents récents qui ont touché nos réseaux d’énergie et de communication, tout cela exige que nous intensifiions nos efforts pour que nos infrastructures de communication par câbles sous-marins soient sûres et résilientes, à la fois aujourd’hui, mais aussi à l’avenir. </p> <p class="contents">L’importance du rôle des câbles sous-marins ne peut être sous-estimée. En effet, ils représentent 99 % du trafic de données que nous échangeons avec le reste du monde. Les câbles sous-marins assurent également des flux de données critiques au sein de l’Union européenne, en particulier pour relier les îles. Une coordination au niveau de l’Union européenne peut renforcer considérablement la réalisation de notre objectif de sécurité et de résilience élevé dans ce domaine, notamment en raison de la nature transfrontière des câbles sous-marins. </p> <p class="contents">Dans ce contexte, le livre blanc sur les infrastructures numériques européennes récemment adopté par la Commission analyse les défis auxquels l’Europe est actuellement confrontée dans le déploiement des futurs réseaux de connectivité et présente des scénarios possibles pour attirer les investissements, favoriser l’innovation, accroître la sécurité et réaliser un véritable marché unique numérique. </p> <p class="contents">Dans ce livre blanc, nous examinons la question de la sécurité et de la résilience de nos infrastructures de réseau, compte tenu du niveau élevé de menaces que nous connaissons dans l’environnement géopolitique mondial en rapide évolution. C’est pourquoi, pour répondre aux appels urgents et répétés des États membres et de tous les acteurs du secteur, nous avons également adopté une recommandation invitant les États membres à lancer une série d’actions et de mesures au niveau national et au niveau de l’Union européenne pour remédier aux principales lacunes. Le but est d’accélérer les travaux sur les mesures préventives. </p> <p class="contents">Ces travaux seront coordonnés par l’intermédiaire d’un nouveau groupe d’experts des États membres. Cela n’exclut pas la mise en place d’un futur cadre de coopération plus complet, qui pourrait donner naissance à un véritable système commun de gouvernance de l’Union européenne pour les infrastructures de câbles sous-marins. Cette voie pour le futur est développée dans le livre blanc. Cette nouvelle recommandation constitue également une réponse directe à la recommandation du Conseil de 2022 qui, en ce qui concerne les infrastructures de câbles sous-marins, a chargé la Commission de réaliser des études, de consulter les parties prenantes et les experts concernés et de présenter des mesures appropriées pour répondre aux risques d’incidents les plus importants. </p> <p class="contents">Les études sont désormais achevées, et les résultats seront communiqués aux États membres en respectant bien les exigences de confidentialité appropriées. Une conclusion essentielle de ces études est que le cadre actuel de l’Union européenne ne peut pas relever pleinement les défis recensés et qu’une approche plus globale au niveau de l’Union européenne est nécessaire. </p> <p class="contents">Pour pallier les lacunes constatées, la recommandation comprend les éléments suivants. Premièrement, les États membres et la Commission devraient établir une cartographie précise des infrastructures câblées existantes, en s’appuyant sur une évaluation consolidée à l’échelle de l’Union européenne, à la fois des risques, des vulnérabilités et des dépendances critiques. Ceci permettrait d’envisager d’établir une boîte à outils pour assurer la sécurité des câbles, à l’instar de ce que nous avons déjà fait pour la cybersécurité des réseaux 5G. Deuxièmement, la mise en place des premiers pas vers une gouvernance commune des technologies de pointe liées aux câbles sous-marins ainsi qu’aux services de pose de câbles et à ceux garantissant la réparation et l’entretien rapides et sûrs de ces câbles. Enfin, la recommandation comporte un élément de financement très important. </p> <p class="contents">Nous voulons une collaboration entre États membres pour établir une liste de projets de liaison par câbles sous-marins d’intérêt européen. Ces projets devraient répondre aux lacunes recensées dans les mesures d’évaluation et de réduction des risques et pourraient, à terme, être retenus en vue d’un financement au titre de différents programmes de l’Union, pour la connectivité tant intra-Union européenne qu’avec les pays tiers. Ces actions concerneront non seulement les câbles eux-mêmes, mais aussi les infrastructures connexes, qui font partie intégrante de leur fonctionnement, tels que les sites de débarquement de ces câbles sur le rivage, les centres de contrôle opérationnel et les navires de déploiement, d’entretien et de réparation. </p> <p class="contents">D’autres éléments importants recensés dans le livre blanc prendront plus de temps pour être mis en œuvre et nécessiteront une coopération allant bien au-delà du champ d’application de la recommandation, tels que le renforcement des activités de recherche et d’innovation avancée concernant les nouvelles technologies de la fibre et du câble ou l’harmonisation des exigences en matière de sécurité. Il importe aussi de rappeler que l’Union développe des systèmes spatiaux permettant une communication sécurisée. </p> <p class="contents">La présente recommandation n’est pas le seul instrument dont nous disposons actuellement. En fait, elle complète les principales initiatives législatives de l’Union européenne déjà entrées en vigueur au début de l’année dernière, notamment les directives concernant les mesures destinées à assurer un haut niveau commun de cybersécurité dans l’ensemble de l’Union (directive SRI 2) et la directive sur la résilience des entités critiques (directive REC). </p> <p class="contents">Grâce à cette panoplie d’instruments opérationnels à notre disposition et dans un esprit de coopération fructueuse et efficace, je suis convaincu que nous pouvons étendre pleinement la notion d’une Europe qui protège à nos infrastructures critiques de câbles sous-marins. La rapidité sera, bien entendu, le facteur décisif de réussite de cette démarche.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="4-088-0000"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197778.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vídeo de las intervenciones" href="/plenary/es/vod.html?mode=unit&vodLanguage=ES&playerStartTime=20240229-11:10:47&playerEndTime=20240229-11:12:57" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" /> <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Tom Berendsen, </span></span> <span class="italic">namens de PPE-Fractie</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Voorzitter, “Het is oorlog maar niemand die het ziet”: zo heet het boek van Huib Modderkolk over digitale spionage en sabotage door geheime diensten, ook te zien inmiddels op de Nederlandse tv als documentaire, met als ster van de show onze gewaardeerde collega Bart Groothuis.</p> <p class="contents">“Het is oorlog maar niemand die het ziet”: dat gold ook lang voor alles wat zich op de zeebodem afspeelt. Maar de waarschuwingen voor Russische spionage- en sabotageplannen in de Noordzee en de concrete voorbeelden van sabotage zijn talrijk. De baas van de Nederlandse MIVD, generaal Jan Swillens, drukte ons al met de neus op de feiten: de Russen hebben niet één schip, maar een heel programma dat erop gericht is om met name de onderwaterinfrastructuur in kaart te brengen, zodat ze daar eventueel verstorend kunnen optreden.</p> <p class="contents">Het belang van onderzeese kabels en leidingen is enorm: 97 % van de wereldwijde communicatie loopt via onderzeese internetkabels, 40 % van onze elektriciteit moet in 2030 van zee komen, en de leiding uit Noorwegen levert meer dan 25 % van het gas dat we in Europa gebruiken. Heel goed dus dat de Europese Commissie met verdere plannen komt om onze onderzeese infrastructuur te beschermen.</p> <p class="contents">Maar dit is natuurlijk niet genoeg. Stapjes die we met 27 landen kunnen zetten, gaan te langzaam. Er is nu actie nodig. Dat kunnen en moeten we niet allemaal tegelijk met elkaar willen doen. Daarom pleit het CDA voor een Europese kopgroep voor het beschermen van de onderwaterinfrastructuur, samen met de NAVO. Samenwerking tussen landen als Nederland, België, Noorwegen, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Frankrijk. De eerste stappen zijn hiervoor gezet, maar het gaat nog te langzaam. We hebben snel fysieke beveiliging, cyberbeveiliging, internationale samenwerking en alternatieve kabels nodig.</p> <p class="contents">We hebben de verantwoordelijkheid om onze kritieke infrastructuur, onze burgers, onze economie te beschermen.

I cavi, che già collegano Stati membri e zone insulari, saranno sempre più importanti per un'Europa rinnovabile e interconnessa. Penso all'enorme potenziale dell'energia eolica offshore, così come l'obiettivo di un Mediterraneo dove l'energia colleghi sponde ancora troppo lontane. </p> <p class="contents">Parliamo di infrastrutture altamente critiche che, in un contesto geopolitico instabile, hanno una funzione strategica e quindi devono essere protette da possibili attacchi. È di questi giorni la notizia preoccupante di danneggiamenti nel Mar Rosso a cavi essenziali per la connessione tra Europa e Asia: questo in una zona dove i combattenti Houthi hanno già colpito navi con droni e missili. Inoltre, ci sono i danni causati da eventi naturali o incidentali: penso alle reti da traino o alle ancore trascinate su fondali marini.</p> <p class="contents">È quindi importante un approccio integrato che abbracci la sicurezza, la qualità delle infrastrutture, la loro sostenibilità ambientale e le tecnologie per il loro dispiegamento, manutenzione e protezione. Ci sono grandi vascelli speciali posacavi di ultima generazione. Oggi abbiamo droni subacquei autonomi in grado di monitorare e proteggere queste infrastrutture. </p> <p class="contents">È urgente una prospettiva europea. Bene quindi lo scambio di informazioni, le mappature, le valutazioni comuni dei rischi, la predisposizione di progetti strategici, come ha ricordato il Commissario. Ma non basta: occorre fin da ora lavorare alla diffusione di soluzioni innovative per contrastare le minacce e aumentare la resilienza dei cavi. Per questo servono fondi, a partire dal Fondo europeo per la difesa, il Meccanismo per collegare l'Europa e Orizzonte Europa. </p> <p class="contents">Colleghi, la sicurezza e il futuro del progetto europeo passano anche dai fondali marini. Anche per questo io credo che sia davvero tempo di un Blue Deal europeo!</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="4-090-0000"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/197780.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vídeo de las intervenciones" href="/plenary/es/vod.html?mode=unit&vodLanguage=ES&playerStartTime=20240229-11:15:21&playerEndTime=20240229-11:17:04" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" /> <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Bart Groothuis, </span></span> <span class="italic">on behalf of the Renew Group</span><span class="bold">.</span> – Mr President, Commissioner, I checked: it’s my 12th speech in this Parliament on the security of subsea infrastructure.

Start by setting a standard for a European repair ship, for example, and build it. Set a standard for coast guard vessels; jointly build them; set the standards and do it.

Undersea cables between Ireland and Europe are increasingly important for our economies and our communications and our energy supplies. Some 90% of Ireland’s territory is underwater. Pipelines, electricity and data cables traverse this space, and offshore wind installations are increasing. We must ensure that all of this critical infrastructure is protected.</p> <p class="contents">In 2022, the Russian Ministry of Defence proposed exercises over vital cables off the Irish coast. While this proposal was rescinded, it highlighted a key vulnerability. If our defence forces are to effectively defend the state against new hybrid threats, their budget must be upgraded. This will help plug the gaping holes in our ability to identify who or what traverses our sea and sky.</p> <p class="contents">We must work with our neighbours in the future to ensure that this infrastructure, which is critical for Ireland and the European Union, is protected. I welcome the Commission’s recommendations that we should regularly assess and improve the security and resilience of existing and new submarine cables infrastructure.</p> <p class="contents">And I believe that Ireland should participate in the PESCO Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection project, in continued alignment with the state’s neutrality position.

Тя може и трябва да бъде защитена със средствата на военното дело и военната наука. Кабелите могат да бъдат защитени с кораби, надводни, подводни, с дронове, със самолети, с екипи, които да ги да ги охраняват и да ги защитават. </p> <p class="contents">Време е европейските държави да прогледнат и да разберат, че колегата от Холандия е прав. Европейският континент отдавна загуби времето, в което можеше да живее спокойно, мирно и безотговорно. Европейския континент живее в условията на война. Той е нападнат и това нападение не е само в полетата на Донбас, това нападение може да бъде и по въздух, и по вода, и под вода. И затова е крайно време да се осъзнае този факт и европейските правителства да се изправят лице в лице със заплахата, която стои срещу нас. </p> <p class="contents">А за решаването, за отговарянето на тази заплаха трябва да се осъзнаят няколко простички факта. Времето на приказки, на компромиси, на безкрайни обещания отдавна е приключило. Трябва да бъде мобилизирана европейската икономика. Трябва да бъде възстановена европейската отбранителна способност.

Така че директивите са хубаво нещо. Само че те са началото. С директиви няма да опазим тези кабели, ще ги опазим, както казах, със съвместна работа, и то в Северноатлантическия договор.

Je veux parler d’une stratégie qui intégrerait tous les enjeux de préservation de l’économie bleue, mais aussi géostratégique.

Il est donc, à mon sens, nécessaire d’écoconcevoir ces infrastructures dont je soutiens le développement. Cela doit être intégré également dans la planification des espaces maritimes, compte tenu de la conjonction avec les autres activités. Et cela peut se faire notamment par la mise en place de solutions basées sur la nature afin de créer un effet dit «récif». C’est ce qu’on appelle les infrastructures maritimes à impact positif.</p> <p class="contents">Cette écoconception doit aussi s’appliquer à terre, notamment pour les centres de données qui sont très énergivores. Il peut être intéressant d’examiner des solutions qui sont actuellement testées, comme l’immersion ou la récupération de la chaleur. L’écoconception est d’autant plus importante à mon sens, qu’un jour, il faudra probablement retirer ces câbles, si nécessaires aujourd’hui, mais qui deviendront peut être obsolètes un jour et qui tapissent le fond de nos océans.</p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="4-100-0000"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vídeo de las intervenciones" href="/plenary/es/vod.html?mode=unit&vodLanguage=ES&playerStartTime=20240229-11:32:42&playerEndTime=20240229-11:33:05" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><span class="italic">Catch-the-eye procedure</span></p></td><td width="16"> </td></tr> <tr><td width="70"> </td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="bottom"><img src="/doceo/data/img/hr.gif" width="100%" height="1" alt="" /></td><td align="right" width="16"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="buttondocwin"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="#top" title="Top"><img src="/doceo/data/img/navi_top.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table> <a name="4-101-0000"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td width="70" align="center" valign="top"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="photoframe_blue"><tr><td><img alt="MPphoto" src="/mepphoto/124812.jpg" align="right" width="50" height="63" onerror="this.onerror='';this.src='/doceo/data/img/photo_generic.gif'" /></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><a title="Vídeo de las intervenciones" href="/plenary/es/vod.html?mode=unit&vodLanguage=ES&playerStartTime=20240229-11:33:01&playerEndTime=20240229-11:34:26" target="_blank"><img width="26" height="24" src="/doceo/data/img/vod_one_speaker.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></td><td width="5"> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> <p class="contents"><img src="/doceo/data/img/arrow_summary.gif" align="absmiddle" alt="" /> <span class="doc_subtitle_level1_bis"><span class="bold">Fabio Massimo Castaldo (Renew).</span></span> – Signor Presidente, signor Commissario, onorevoli colleghi, il rischio di sabotaggi e di attentati ai cavi sottomarini è una delle minacce più pericolose alla nostra sicurezza e alla nostra economia.
