Article 22
1. A member of temporary staff shall not, without permission from the AACC, disclose on any grounds whatsoever, in any legal proceedings, information of which he has knowledge by reason of his duties. Permission shall be refused only where the interests of the Agency so require and such refusal would not entail criminal consequences as far as the member of temporary staff is concerned. A member of temporary staff shall continue to be bound by this obligation after leaving the service. 2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not apply to a member or a former member of temporary staff giving evidence before the Court of Justice of the European Union or before the Disciplinary Board of the Agency on a matter concerning a servant or former servant of the Agency and/or of the European Union.
