Secretariat

The Security Committee has a full-time secretariat that is located at the Ministry of Defence. The Secretariat’s preparedness expertise broadly covers a broad variety of fields of society.

The Security Committee can also have part-time secretaries. In addition, the various ministries can appoint government officials to the Secretariat. The Secretariat operates directly under the chair and assists the chairs, members and experts, prepares matters belonging to the Security Committee and contributes to the implementation of the decisions made by the Committee. Matters subjected to the Security Committee are prepared together with the experts of the appropriate ministries and government agencies.
