The paper discusses the interpretation of the rule of prevalence of Article 1 (7) NIS Directive, which has not been the subject of any academic debate so far. Article 1 (7) NIS Directive organises the interface between the NIS Directive regime and other European Union sector-specific legislations imposing (cyber)security obligations, by laying down the conditions according to which such obligations would prevail over the NIS Directive regime. Based on the case study of the recent proposal from the European Commission to regulate Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (‘C-ITS’), the paper unravels a number of issues and unclarities. Recommendations are made with respect to the interpretation and application of the rule of prevalence of Article 1 (7) NIS Directive. In anticipation of a potential future C-ITS regulation and in the context of a possible upcoming revision of the NIS Directive, the paper also makes suggestions to ease the regulation of the interface between the NIS Directive and other (cyber-)security regulation, particularly in the field of C-ITS.

本文讨论了NIS指令第1条第7款的普遍性规则的解释，到目前为止，该规则尚未成为任何学术辩论的主题。第1条第（7）款规定了NIS指令制度比NIS指令制度优先的条件，从而在NIS指令制度与其他施加（网络）安全义务的欧盟特定部门立法之间建立了接口。基于欧洲委员会最近关于规范合作式智能运输系统（'C-ITS'）的提案的案例研究，本文揭示了许多问题和不确定性。针对NIS指令第1条第7款的普遍性规则的解释和适用，提出了一些建议。
