Statute overview

About this statute

This provision defines key terms and sets out the basic structure, tasks, and data-handling rules for the intelligence and security services. The services may use several special investigative powers, but many require written permission or authorization first. This segment sets rules for how the intelligence services may share and withhold data, when ministerial permission is needed, and how requests for access to information must be handled. This provision gives the oversight and complaint divisions broad powers to request information, hear witnesses and experts, enter places with limits, investigate complaints and misconduct reports, and require cooperation. It also imposes confidentiality duties and sets penalties for listed offences. De minister-president en de betrokken minister moeten binnen vijf jaar na inwerkingtreding, en daarna elke vijf jaar, rapporteren aan de Staten-Generaal. De commissie van toezicht mag een lid aanwijzen als voorzitter van de afdeling klachtbehandeling. De Wet op de inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten 2002 wordt ingetrokken.
