AmCham EU also had a lunch meeting with the Bureau of EP Delegation for the Relations with the US and Secretariat, including:
Chairman Radosław Sikorski, MEP (EPP, PL);
Vice-Chair Nicolae Ștefănuță, MEP (RE, RO);
Adam Isaacs, Head of the European Parliament's Transatlantic Relations and G8 Unit, Directorate-General for External Policies of the Union; and

These meetings continued the conversations started in November 2019 when a delegation of 65 AmCham EU members visited Strasbourg to exchange views with more than 100 MEPs from across the political spectrum. This visit strengthened those ties further as well as built new connections with MEPs from Sweden, Romania, Poland, Hungary and Greece. AmCham EU continues to be a bridge-builder and policy-driver, facilitating dialogue between business and Parliament and encouraging legislators from both sides of the Atlantic to come together and cooperate.

Strengthening Europe’s cybersecurity framework through simplification
The review of the Cybersecurity Act (CSA 2.0) is an opportunity to build a more coherent, outcome-oriented EU cybersecurity framework. While the proposal recognises fragmentation across the Single Market, further simplification is needed to reduce overlaps and support effective compliance.
A harmonised approach to risk assessment and supervision can strengthen resilience while avoiding duplicative obligations. Certification and supply-chain measures should remain risk-based, objective, technical and aligned with international standards. Structured industry engagement and clear designation thresholds under the ICT Supply Chain Framework and a secure-by-design approach to policymaking will be essential to support cybersecurity and global interoperability. Read more on how CSA 2.0 can strengthen resilience across the Single Market.
