Summary/Abstract: It does not seem possible to formulate an exhaustive list of instances in which it would be permitted to make access to a complete records of the meeting of the Special Services Committee, marked as classified. Typical examples where such access is allowed include actions by the public prosecutor’s office taken within the framework of criminal proceedings and by special services for the detection of crime or actions related to the conduct of inspection under the Act on the Protection of Classified Information. The Marshal of the Sejm is a body competent for making decisions on the provision of classified documents providing the record of the Committee meeting. The head of one of the special services, who at the invitation of the Committee participated in the committee meeting, has the right to be acquainted with the text “working” or preliminary version of the minutes of the meeting. This, however, does not preclude that the activities of services (subordinate to him) provided for in the Act will require reading of the final text of the minutes marked as classified.
