In this context, it is crucial that EU classified information be handled and protected by all the stakeholders involved in the implementation of the Galileo and EGNOS programmes (the ‘programmes’) in accordance with the basic principles and minimum standards set out in the Commission’s and the Council’s security rules on the protection of EU classified information and that Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 1285/2013, which guarantees an equivalent level of protection for EU classified information, apply, where appropriate, to all stakeholders involved in implementing the programmes.
Sa chomhthéacs sin, tá sé ríthábhachtach go ndéanfaidh gach geallsealbhóir atá bainteach le cur chun feidhme chlár Galileo agus EGNOS (na “cláir”) faisnéis rúnaicmithe AE a láimhseáil agus a chosaint i gcomhréir leis na bunphrionsabail agus leis na híoschaighdeáin a leagtar amach i rialacha slándála an Choimisiúin agus na Comhairle maidir le faisnéis rúnaicmithe AE a chosaint agus go mbeidh feidhm ag Airteagal 17 de Rialachán (AE) Uimh. 1285/2013, lena ráthaítear leibhéal coibhéiseach cosanta i gcás faisnéis rúnaicmithe AE, nuair is iomchuí, maidir leis na geallsealbhóirí uile atá bainteach leis na cláir a chur chun feidhme.
