COUNCIL DECISION
of 10 February 2004
amending Decision 2001/264/EC adopting the Council's security regulations

(2004/194/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Com-
munity and in particular Article 207(3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 2002/682/EC, Euratom of
22 July 2002 adopting the Council's Rules of Procedure (1), and
in particular Article 24 thereof,

(6)

(7)

An Agreement (4) on the security of information was
signed between the European Union and NATO on 14
March 2003.

It is therefore also necessary to introduce correspon-
dence with NATO classification levels in Appendix 2 to
the abovementioned Decision,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

Appendices 1 and 2 to the Security Regulations of the
Council of the European Union annexed to Decision
2001/264/EC (2) contain a list of national security autho-
rities
(NSAs) and a table of comparison including
national security classifications, respectively.

On 16 April 2003, the Czech Republic, the Republic of
Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia,
the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the
Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic
of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic signed the Treaty
concerning their accession to the European Union (3).

According to Article 2(2) of Decision 2001/264/EC,
those States have to take appropriate measures to ensure
that, when EU classified information is handled,
the
Council's security regulations are respected.

In order to take into account those States in the above-
mentioned Appendices, it is therefore necessary, from a
technical point of view, to amend Decision 2001/264/
EC.

Appendix 2 to Decision 2001/264/EC indicates that
correspondence with NATO classification levels will be
established when the Security Agreement between the
European Union and NATO is negotiated.

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Decision 2001/264/EC is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Appendix 1 is replaced by the document in Annex I to this

Decision;

(b) Appendix 2 is replaced by the document in Annex II to

this Decision.

Article 2

This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publica-

1.
tion.

2.
It shall apply only subject to and on the date of the entry
into force of the 2003 Treaty of Accession, signed in Athens
on 16 April 2003.

Done at Brussels, 10 February 2004.
