The need to create forums at EU level is specifically mentioned in order to facilitate exchanges of views on general and sector specific CIP issues. PARSIFAL is aiming to bring together all financial critical infrastructure stakeholders in the public and private sphere which would provide the MS, Commission and the industry with an important platform through which to communicate on whichever new CIP issue arise. Furthermore, PARSIFAL Forum would asses a possibility of the creation of EU FCI related industry/business associations. The success of PARSIFAL will be largely based on its ability to build a large consensus in the financial, security industrial and scientific community. This will require the ability to contact and involve a large number of SME's that are working in this field, as well as Academia and Research Organisation all over Europe and bring them together with all the relevant national or regional CIP and Financial sector actors.
