> The agency chief's warnings come one week after the European Commission presented a proposal to overhaul its Cybersecurity Act legislation. The bill would allow the EU's cyber agency, based in Athens, to expand its personnel by 118 full-time staff and to spend more on operational costs. The agency now has approximately 150 staff.

I'd guess the EU's cyber agency is relevant, if only because it does some of the EU-wide coordinating. And because the smaller and poorer EU nations can't afford much on their own.

Might anyone here be familiar?

After that - in a giant bureaucracy, head count is a very poor measure of effectiveness. Would upping the agency's head count do much good. Or are there structural problems which will make that (by itself) mostly a waste of funds?
