On Friday 5 April, the European Commission and the EU Agency for cybersecurity (ENISA) with the collaboration of the European Parliament and member states organized an exercise on the European Union's response to and crisis plans for potential cybersecurity incidents affecting the EU elections.

The objective of the exercise, which took place in the European Parliament, was to test how effective EU member states and the EU's response practices and crisis plans are and to identify ways to prevent, detect and mitigate cybersecurity incidents that may affect the upcoming EU elections. The exercise is part of the actions being implemented by the European Union to ensure free and fair elections in May 2019.

The member states acknowledged that it was an opportunity for them to share with each other measures taken to prepare for the elections as well as to assess ways of involving various structures and mechanisms of co-operation at European level.  For more information see this press release.
