Sporazum se v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku glasi:(1)

ob upoštevanju naslednjega:

(3) Pogodbenice se zavedajo, da dostop do teh tajnih podatkov in njihova izmenjava zahtevata primerne varnostne ukrepe za njihovo varovanje –
SO SE DOGOVORILI O NASLEDNJEM:

Namen tega sporazuma je zagotoviti, da pogodbenice varujejo tajne podatke, ki:

– »TRES SECRET UE/EU TOP SECRET«. Ta stopnja tajnosti se uporablja za podatke in material, katerih nepooblaščeno razkritje bi lahko imelo izjemno težke posledice za vitalne interese Evropske unije ali ene ali več držav članic.
