On August 4, 2020, the German Federal Network Agency submitted an amended security catalogue for notification to the European Commission. As Bitkom, we actively contributed to the comments on the security catalogue with our statement of November 18, 2019. However, the results of the consultation at that time were not included to the necessary extent in the security Catalog now submitted for notification. There is an internal market relevance of the present catalogue that cannot be dismissed out of hand and which must now be considered at European level. For this reason, we would like to emphasize our perspective and position at the European level.
