# Commission Decision (EU, Euratom) 2019/1962 of 17 October 2019 on implementing rules for handling RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED information, Article 38: Partial declassification of RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED information

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

1. Partial declassification shall also be possible (e.g. annexes, some paragraphs only). The procedure shall be identical to that for declassifying an entire document.
2. Upon partial declassification (‘sanitising’) of RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED information, a declassified extract shall be produced.
3. The parts that remain classified shall be replaced by:
PART NOT TO BE DECLASSIFIED
either in the body of the text itself, if the part that remains classified is a part of a paragraph, or as a paragraph, if the part that remains classified is a specific paragraph or more than one paragraph.
4. Specific mention shall be made in the text if a complete annex cannot be declassified and has therefore been withheld from the extract.
