PM Fumio Kishida said that, in addition to the designation and removal, the Cabinet Office would make public the status of implementation of the "security clearance (SC)" system, which will restrict the handling of confidential information to qualified personnel, and said that "any provisions to stipulate for reporting to the Diet aren't embedded in the Bill."


> 法案では、漏えいすると国の安保に支障を与える恐れがあるため秘匿すべき情報を「重要経済安保情報」に指定する。
> 首相は同情報について「国会の秘密会に提供する」と説明。
> 秘密会に関し「国会に情報監視審査会と同様の機能を持つ機関を設けるかは、政府から申し上げる立場にない」とした。

Under the Bill, information that must be kept confidential because its leakage could impede national security is designated as "important economic security information."
On that information, the prime minister explained that "it would be provided to a secret session of the Diet."
On the secret Diet session, he said that "The government is not in a position to say whether or not to establish an institution with functions similar to the information monitoring and review secretariat (correct name in English is unknown) in the Diet."
