A/71/172 – Council of Ministers decision no. 701, dated 22 October 2014, “On approving the rules for securing classified information in the industrial area ” Albania has a more comprehensive legal regulation, which is concerned with the physical security of classified information. The “areas of security”, are redefined and located, taking into account the different levels of classified information. Following the adoption of the new decision for staff security, inter-institutional cooperation, supervision and the inspection of state institutions have eventually increased. State agencies started the process of revising the lists of staff duties and issuing relevant security certificates according to the field of responsibility. With regard to industrial security, Albania has focused on reviewing politics of information security, by reviewing practices of the Council of Ministers by decision no. 701, dated 22 October 2014. Another important step on which we have put emphasis, is the drafting of a new law for dealing with classified information — an initiative which constitutes an efficient, up-to-date piece of law with high European standards. The review of national legislation in this field is done taking into account the acquis of the European Union and in particular, Council Decision 2013/488/EU on the security rules for protecting EU classified information. Australia [Original: English] [31 May 2016] Australia welcomes the opportunity, in response to the invitation in General Assembly resolution 70/237, to provide its views on developments in the field of information and telecommunications in the context of international security. This submission builds upon information provided by Australia in response to resolution 68/243 in 2014 and to resolution 65/41 in 2011. Cybersecurity is as intrinsically linked to innovation as it is to national security. It is the bedrock of innovation, growth and prosperity. Cybersecurity is a global opportunity that Governments, the private sector and the community are a ll invested in and can all derive benefit from. The global community needs to get cybersecurity right. Everyone — Governments, businesses and individuals — need to work together to build a trusted online environment. Not only to protect critical informati on, but to provide the environment for innovation to flourish; to enable the technology industry to thrive; and to capitalize on the growing global need for better cybersecurity solutions, equipment and skilled individuals. Australia recognizes strong cybersecurity as a fundamental element for growth and prosperity in a global economy. In 2015 Australia reviewed its approach to cybersecurity and launched its new Cyber Security Strategy on 21 April 2016. Australia believes that a priority task for the international community is the elaboration of how international law applies to States’ behaviour in cyberspace, especially in non-conflict situations. There is a need for further work to develop understandings on how key concepts such as sovereignty and jurisdiction apply in 4/24 16-12486
