These provisions are set out in a draft bill drawn up by MP Andrian Cheptonar, which also proposes granting the right to a pension based on length of service without leaving the service.

Currently, the age limits are 50, 55 and 60 years respectively for these categories of employees.

The bill also stipulates that intelligence officers holding public office will be eligible for a pension based on length of service without being obliged to resign from their posts.

The legislative initiative also provides for the digitisation of the management of special files held by the SIS and the Ministry of Defence. These may be stored and archived in electronic format within the information systems administered by the respective institutions.

At the same time, a requirement will be introduced to keep a record of those who access the files, including the date and time of access and the information consulted.

Another amendment concerns the use of advanced electronic signatures for documents containing information classified as a state secret, under certain conditions, including in the case of SIS, CNA and MAI staff whose identity or status constitutes a state secret.
