• Table 2: Risk mitigation plans Table 2 below presents risk mitigation plans for each of the nice risk areas identified in the EU coordinated risk assessment report. The estimated degree of expected effectiveness takes into account the original risk and the expected residual risk after applying the measure, and using the following scale: • • • • Very High: The measure is considered effective to a very high degree, meaning that it is expected to almost completely mitigate the related risks. High: The measure is considered highly effective, meaning that it is expected to significantly mitigate the related risks. Medium: The measure is considered somewhat effective, meaning that it is expected to mitigate the related risks to some extent. Low: The measure is considered hardly effective, as it is expected to mitigate the related risks only marginally. In addition, for each measure, the table on mitigation plans (annex 1, table 2) indicatively identifies other parameters and characteristics, with a view of assisting Member States in selecting and implementing measures, namely: • Potential implementation factors (both positive and negative), namely: o Resource costs o Sector-specific economic impacts (for operators or for suppliers) o Broader economic and/or societal impacts • Indicative timeframes for taking the necessary steps to implement the measures, expressed using the following scale: o Short term: 0-2 years o Medium term: 2-5 years o Long term: >5 years 31
