At the time of its creation, the originator shall indicate, where possible, whether EUCI can be downgraded or declassified on a given date or following a specific event.

Each Commission department shall regularly review EUCI for which it is the originator to ascertain whether the classification level still applies. A system to review the classification level of registered EUCI which has originated in the Commission no less frequently than every five years shall be established by implementing rules. Such a review shall not be necessary where the originator has indicated from the outset that the information will automatically be downgraded or declassified and the information has been marked accordingly.
