Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) While progress has been made towards more consistent rules for the protection of European Union classified information (‘EUCI’) and sensitive non- classified information (‘non-EUCI’), the interoperability of the relevant systems remains limited, preventing a seamless transfer of information between the different Union institutions and bodies. Further efforts should therefore be made to enable an interinstitutional approach toframework for the sharing of EUCI and sensitive non- classified information, with common categories of informacomposed of this regulation and of the [regulation on non- EUCI] with common definitions and common key handling principles. A baseline should also be envisaged to simplify procedures for sharing EUCI and sensitive non-classified informationEUCI between Union institutions and bodies and with Member States.
