III. REGISTRATION OF EUCI FOR SECURITY PURPOSES

For every organisational entity within the GSC and Member States’ national administrations in which EUCI is handled, a responsible registry shall be identified to ensure that EUCI is handled in accordance with this Decision. Registries shall be established as Secured Areas as defined in Annex II. For the purposes of this Decision, registration for security purposes (‘registration’) means the application of procedures which record the life-cycle of material, including its dissemination and destruction. All material classified CONFIDENTIEL UE/EU CONFIDENTIAL and above shall be registered in designated registries when it arrives at or leaves an organisational entity. The Central Registry within the GSC shall keep a record of all classified information released by the Council and the GSC to third States and international organisations, and of all classified information received from third States or international organisations. In the case of a CIS, registration procedures may be performed by processes within the CIS itself. The Council shall approve a security policy on the registration of EUCI for security purposes. A registry shall be designated in the Member States and in the GSC to act as the central receiving and dispatching authority for information classified TRÈS SECRET UE/EU TOP SECRET. Where necessary, subordinate registries may be designated to handle such information for registration purposes. Such subordinate registries may not transmit TRÈS SECRET UE/EU TOP SECRET documents directly to other subordinate registries of the same central TRÈS SECRET UE/EU TOP SECRET registry or externally without the express written approval of the latter.
