Where these are not available, staff shall seek the advice of the Commission security authority.\n2. As a general rule, agendas should be not classified. If the agenda of a meeting mentions classified documents, the agenda itself shall not automatically be classified. Agenda items shall be worded in a way that avoids jeopardising the protection of the Union or one or more of the Member States' interests.\n3. If electronic files containing RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED information are to be attached to the agenda, it is mandatory to protect them with cryptographic products approved by the Commission Crypto Authority.\n4. Meeting organisers shall remind participants that any comments sent in on a RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED agenda item must not be sent through ordinary open e-mails, or through other means that have not been appropriately accredited in accordance with Article 11 of this Decision.\n5. Meeting organisers shall endeavour to group RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED items consecutively on the agenda in order to facilitate the smooth functioning of the meeting. Only persons with a need-to-know may be present during discussions of classified items.\n6. The invitation itself shall forewarn the participants that the meeting will discuss classified topics, and that corresponding security measures will apply.\n7. The invitation or note on the agenda itself shall remind participants that portable electronic devices are to be switched off during discussion of RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED items.\n8. Meeting organisers shall prepare a complete list of external participants prior to the meeting.",
