Summary

The bill establishes a uniform structure in the rules of the agencies organizing information protection in the State Secrets and Classified Foreign Information Act. Norms are created, according to which competences are formulated first, then the tasks resulting from them, and finally the activities to be performed in the performance of the tasks. The change concerns the Defense Police Board, the structural unit specified in the Defense Force Statute, the Foreign Intelligence Service and the authorized representative of state security. State security the norms set for authorized representatives are supplemented so that, in addition to organizing and controlling the protection of classified foreign information, the representative also has the role of organizing and controlling the protection of state secrets. This is the case if a state secret is disclosed to a foreign country, an international organization or an institution created by an international agreement. The bill also deals with positions that arise upon starting a job without the need for separate formalization ex-officio right of access to classified foreign information. The amendment creates a legal basis for refusing to grant access to classified foreign information if the person does not agree to introduce the requirements for the protection of the given information or to sign the confirmation. This means that if, according to the foreign agreement, familiarization with the information protection requirements and submission of a signed confirmation is mandatory, but the person refuses to do so, then due to the amendment of the draft, it is not possible to give him access to specific information despite the existence of a post-employment right of access. The bill repeals the provision of the law, according to which the transfer of a state secret to a foreign country, an international organization or an institution created by an international agreement must be registered with an authorized representative of state security every time.
