(2) Unless otherwise provided in this act, the Act on the general rules for administrative proceedings applies for procedures for the supervision of classified data. (3) Procedure for the supervision of classified data may only be launched ex officio. Should the investigation carried out by the Authority based on a report made have preceded the procedure for the supervision of classified data, it therefore does not qualify as a procedure launched to assess the report made. However, should the investigation carried out by the Authority have been based on a report that preceded the procedure for the supervision of classified data, the reporting individual must be notified of its launch and completion. Section 63 (1) Should the Authority assess that legislation applicable in connection with the classification of national classified information has been infringed in the decision made within the framework of the procedure for the supervision of classified data, the Authority instructs the classifier to modify the classification level and its period of validity in compliance with relevant legislation, or to terminate classification. (2) Should the classifier deem that the decision made by the Authority in accordance with subsection (1) is unfounded, the classifier may request that it be reviewed by a court within a period of 60 days of the announcement of the decision. The execution of the decision can be delayed by submitting the statement of claim. Should the classifier not turn to the courts within a 60-day period beginning on the date the decision was announced, the classification of the national classified information becomes null and void in accordance with the decision on the 64th day following the announcement of the decision and its classification level or period of validity changes in accordance with the decision. (3) Provisions governing the civil court procedure of public administration litigation shall be applied to the legal proceedings, together with the specification that the court shall immediately proceed with the case in a closed session. (4) The court confirms, amends or reverses the Authority’s decision, or instructs the Authority to launch a new procedure, should it be required. (5) The decision issued by the court and the Authority does not affect the obligations of the classifier concerning the review of national classified information specified in the act on the protection of classified information. (6) Only judges that have undergone the highest level national security screening specified in the act on national security services may be appointed. (7) Besides the judge, the plaintiff and the defendant, any other person may only gain access to the classified information should they have undergone the highest level national security screening specified in the act on national security services. 34.
