The Council Security Committee is scheduled to meet on 29 and 30 June 2026 in Brussels to advance work on several security-related proposals, including a draft opinion on the proposed Regulation for a European Union Space Services Agency and updates to rules on protecting EU classified information, according to a notice of meeting and provisional agenda published by the Council.
The meeting will open with an examination of a draft opinion on the proposed Regulation for a European Union Space Services Agency, which would amend Regulation (EU) 2021/696. The Committee will then exchange views on preparing Declarations for the Council minutes regarding a Council Decision on security rules for protecting EU classified information, which would repeal Decision 2013/488/EU. Agenda item 4 involves the examination and possible finalisation of revised draft proposals on information security, covering personnel security, industrial security, management of classified meetings, and protection of EUCI in Communication and Information Systems. The Committee will also receive status reports from the EEAS and the General Secretariat of the Council on exchanging classified information with third States and international organisations, as well as a presentation of the EUCI incident and compromise report 2025. Finally, the Committee will hear information on updates from CSC sub-committees and a note from the Swedish delegation on the variety of markings used by EU institutions and their impact on Member States.
The meeting is a routine working-level session of the Council Security Committee, which prepares decisions for the Council of the European Union on security matters. The outcomes of the meeting will feed into subsequent Council deliberations and potentially lead to formal adoption of the proposed regulations and decisions. Stakeholders impacted include EU institutions and bodies handling classified information, Member States' national security authorities, and the space industry, which will be affected by the proposed Space Services Agency regulation. The meeting does not involve public debate or decision-making; it is an internal preparatory session.
