Increase engagement in relevant standardisation bodies, in particular through reinforced
coordination at EU level in order to increase ability to shape standardisation according
to identified needs, by setting up a forum or group of national regulatory authorities and
other relevant competent authorities of Member states, reporting to the NIS Cooperation
Group and the EECG 41, in particular tasked to:
- Contribute to achieving an appropriate level of convergence as regards technical
measures relying on standardisation and certification, in line with existing legislation,
such as but not limited to the Cybersecurity Act;
- Promote standardisation of interfaces to facilitate diversity of suppliers;
- ensure liaison between the NIS Cooperation Group and relevant European and/or
international standardisation bodies;
- Ensure full participation by EU industry and improve the dialogue between the industry
and the MS.
Develop specific EU guidance on the implementation of security measures under the
existing 5G standards (e.g. 3GPP), and in particular:
- Provide recommendations on the optional elements of standardisation and on aspects
that are not covered by a specific standard; 42

To facilitate a coordinated approach, exchange good practices on the implementation of
strategic measures, in particular on the risk factors to be taken into account (see
paragraph 2.37 of the EU coordinated risk assessment report) when assessing the risk
profile of suppliers/vendors. In addition to the factors listed in the EU coordinated risk
