General provisions regarding security measures
Article 6
1. When taking security measures, the Commission shall in particular ensure so far as reasonably possible, that: (a) it only seeks support or assistance from the state concerned, provided that that state either is a Member State of the European Union or, if not, party to the European Convention on Human Rights, or guarantees rights which are at least equivalent to the rights guaranteed in this Convention; (b) it shall only transfer information on an individual to recipients, other than Community institutions and bodies, which are not subject to national law adopted pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 11 ) , in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001; (c) where an individual poses a threat to security, any security measure shall be directed against that individual and that individual may be subjected to bearing the incurring costs. Those security measures may only be directed against other individuals if an immediate or major threat to security must be controlled and the following conditions are fulfilled: (a) the envisaged measures against the individual posing the threat to security cannot be taken or are not likely to be effective; (b) the Commission cannot control the threat to security by its own actions or cannot do so in a timely manner; (c) the measure does not constitute a disproportionate danger for the other individual and his rights. 2. The Security Directorate of the Directorate-General for Human Resources and Security shall establish an overview of security measures which may require an order by a judge in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Member States hosting Commission premises. 3. The Security Directorate of the Directorate-General for Human Resources and Security may turn to a contractor to carry out, under the direction and supervision of the Security Directorate, tasks relating to security.
