Zakoni Republike Italije o obaveštajno-bezbednosnom sistemu i režimu državne tajne
Italian Legislation on Information – Security System and State Secret

Summary/Abstract: In the last couple of years almost all European countries have passed legislation which regulates organization and functioning of information-security system. This is also the case with Italy, a country which has a long tradition of legal regulation of information-security and protection of data secrecy. The Act No. 801 of 1977 on establishment and organization of services for information and security and state secret is surely one of the most important legal sources in this area. High quality solutions which it contains have remained in force for three full decades, in spite of frequent periods of political instability. Nevertheless, the current information-security system is based on a fully new regulation – Act No. 124 on Information system for security of the Republic and new regulation of state secret. On the basis of this Act of 2007, some of the key information and security institutions of the Republic of Italy have been reorganized or renamed.
