European Commission to focus business continuity activities

In its latest member newsletter, the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) has announced that the European Commission is to formalise its business continuity activities under a single framework based on the BCI’s Good Practice Guidelines.

The EC decision, which was agreed in July 2006, ‘takes into account the requirements of host governments and local authorities as well as other EU Institutions such as the council of Ministers and the European Parliament’.

Lyndon Bird, FBCI, Technical Services Director at the BCI, was in Brussels recently to meet and be questioned by the newly mandated EC steering group for business continuity management.

“I hope the BCI will be able to develop a clear working relationship with the various EU institutions as they roll their framework out across the diverse cultural, geographical and functional parts of the community,” commented Mr Bird.
