Article 18 Copying and translating CONFIDENTIEL UE/EU CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET UE/EU SECRET information

CONFIDENTIEL UE/EU CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET UE/EU SECRET information may be copied or translated on instruction from the holder, provided the originator has not imposed any caveats. However, no more copies shall be made than are strictly necessary.

Where only part of a classified document is reproduced, the same conditions shall apply as for copying the full document. Extracts shall also be classified at the same level, unless the originator has specifically classified them at a lower level, or marked them as unclassified.

The security measures applicable to the original information shall also be applied to copies and translations thereof.
