    Overeenkomst tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en het Koninkrijk Zweden inzake de wederzijdse bescherming van geclassificeerde militaire gegevens
  
  
    De Regering van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de Regering van het Koninkrijk Zweden,
    geleid door de wens de bescherming te verzekeren van geclassificeerde gegevens die in het belang van de nationale verdediging worden uitgewisseld tussen de bevoegde instanties van de beide landen of die in het kader van contracten of opdrachten van overheidswege worden verstrekt aan industriële ondernemingen en overheidsorganisaties voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek ten behoeve van de verdediging in de onderscheiden landen,
    zijn als volgt overeengekomen:

  In deze Overeenkomst wordt onder „geclassificeerde gegevens” verstaan: inlichtingen, documenten en alle andere zaken op het gebied van de verdediging waaraan door het land van oorsprong een beveiligingsclassificatie is toegekend. Deze begripsomschrijving heeft geen betrekking op de wijze van overdracht van de gegevens, d.w.z. het doet niet ter zake of deze overdracht schriftelijk, mondeling, door technische hulpmiddelen, dan wel door de terbeschikkingstelling van zaken plaatsvindt.

  De beide Regeringen verbinden zich ertoe de volgende algemene beginselen toe te passen voor de bescherming van geclassificeerde gegevens:
  
    
      a.
      aan de ontvangen gegevens wordt in het ontvangende land ten minste dezelfde graad van beveiliging toegekend als in het land van oorsprong;
    
    
      b.
      de verstrekte gegevens mogen niet worden gebruikt voor andere doeleinden dan die welke zijn overeengekomen;
    
    
      c.
      de verstrekte gegevens mogen niet openbaar worden gemaakt aan de regering, de autoriteiten, bedrijven of burgers van een andere Staat zonder voorafgaande schriftelijke toestemming van het land van oorsprong.

    3
  
  De toegang tot de geclassificeerde gegevens wordt beperkt tot hen voor wie uit hoofde van hun werkzaamheden deze toegang noodzakelijk is en die het voorgeschreven veiligheidsonderzoek op het passende niveau hebben ondergaan en die de vereiste kennis van de beveiligingsprocedures bezitten. Niemand is bevoegd uitsluitend op grond van zijn rang of ambt te verlangen dat hem toegang tot de geclassificeerde gegevens wordt verleend.

  Elke Regering staat beveiligingsdeskundigen van de andere Regering toe periodieke bezoeken aan haar grondgebied te brengen, op een wederzijds passend tijdstip, ten einde met haar beveiligingsautoriteiten overleg te plegen over haar procedures en voorzieningen voor de bescherming van de geclassificeerde gegevens die haar door de andere Regering zijn verstrekt. Elke Regering verleent deze deskundigen hulp bij het vaststellen of de gegevens die haar door de andere Regering zijn verstrekt, voldoende worden beschermd.
