American States, and the Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe. At the same time, the EU should endeavour to find common ground, where possible and opportune, with other partners based on issues of common interest. Working with the EU Delegations, as well as where relevant Member States’ embassies around the world, the EU should form an informal EU Cyber Diplomacy Network to promote the EU vision of cyberspace, exchange information and regularly coordinate on developments in cyberspace110. Building on the Joint Declarations of 8 July 2016111 and 10 July 2018112, the EU should continue to advance EU-NATO cooperation, notably on cyber defence interoperability requirements. In this context, the EU should further pursue the affiliation of relevant CSDP structures to NATO’s Federated Mission Networking, allowing network interoperability with NATO and partners when necessary. In addition, cooperation between the EU and NATO on education, training and exercises should be further explored, including by seeking synergies between the European Security and Defence College and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. In line with its values, the EU strongly supports and promotes the multi-stakeholder model for Internet governance. No single entity, government, or international organisation should seek to control the Internet. The EU should continue to engage in fora113 to enhance cooperation and ensure the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms, notably the right to dignity, privacy and freedom of expression and information. To advance multi-stakeholder cooperation on cybersecurity issues, the Commission and High Representative, in line with their respective competences, aim to reinforce regular and structured exchanges with stakeholders, including the private sector, academia and civil society, underlining that the interconnected nature of cyberspace requires all stakeholders to exchange upon, and take their specific responsibilities to maintain a global, open, stable and secure cyberspace. These efforts will provide valuable input for potential key actions at EU level. 3.3. Strengthening global capacities to increase global resilience To ensure that all countries are able to reap the social, economic and political benefits of the Internet and the use of technologies, the EU continues to support its partners to increase their cyber resilience and capacities to investigate and prosecute cybercrime and address cyber threats. In order to ensure overall coherence, the EU should develop an EU External Cyber Capacity Building Agenda to steer these efforts in line with its External Cyber Capacity Building Guidelines114 and the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development115. The Agenda should leverage the expertise of Member States and relevant EU institutions, bodies and agencies and initiatives, including the EU's Cyber Capacity Building Network116, in line with their respective mandates. An EU Cyber Capacity Building Board, shall be created to encompass relevant EU institutional stakeholders, and to monitor progress, as well as the identification of further synergies and potential gaps. It can furthermore support enhanced 110 It could where relevant also leverage the activities of the informal EU Digital Diplomacy Network incorporating Member States’ foreign ministries. 111 http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2016/07/08-eu-nato-joint-declaration/ 112 https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2018/07/10/eu-nato-joint-declaration/ 113 Such as the Internet Cooperation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF). 114 https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-10496-2018-INIT/en/pdf 115 https://ec.europa.eu/environment/sustainable-development/SDGs/index_en.htm 116 https://www.eucybernet.eu/ 22
