# Council Decision of 23 September 2013 on the security rules for protecting EU classified information (2013/488/EU), Division 17

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Where a long-term need exists to exchange information classified as a general rule no higher than RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED with a third State or international organisation, and where the Security Committee has established that the party in question does not have a sufficiently developed security system for it to be possible to enter into a security of information agreement, the Secretary-General may, subject to approval by the Council, enter into an administrative arrangement on behalf of the GSC with the relevant authorities of the third State or international organisation in question.
