Access badge
Article 4
1. An access badge is an identification document that incorporates a certain set of access rights to Parliament’s premises. Those access rights shall be assigned on the basis of the category of user to which the holder belongs. 2. A person shall be entitled to have only one active access badge for any given period. 3. The access badge is strictly personal and non-transferable. The holder shall not use it to give access to Parliament’s premises to other persons. 4. All persons who access Parliament’s premises shall be required to wear their access badges visibly during the entire period they spend on Parliament’s premises. 5. Holders of access badges shall be liable for any misuse thereof. The access badges shall remain the property of Parliament. Holders shall return the access badge once it no longer fulfils the criteria on the basis of which it was issued. Holders shall also report the loss or theft of access badges to the competent services of Parliament. 6. The Secretary-General shall lay down implementing measures regarding the design and the technical aspects of access badges. The Secretary-General may delegate that power to the Director-General for Security and Safety.
