Article 33 Sharing CONFIDENTIEL UE/EU CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET UE/EU SECRET information with other Union entities

CONFIDENTIEL UE/EU CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET UE/EU SECRET information shall only be shared with another Union institution, agency, body or office if the recipient has a need-to-know and the entity has a corresponding legal arrangement with the Commission.

Within the Commission, the EUCI Registry managed by the Secretariat-General shall as a general rule be the main point of entry and exit for classified information exchanges with other Union institutions, agencies, bodies and offices. The Commission security authority shall be consulted where there are security, organisational or operational grounds for it to be more appropriate for local EUCI registries to operate as the point of entry and exit for matters within the competence of the department concerned.
