According to the 29th Article of Law no. 2937: "In cases the secrecy
of the duty and the interests of the State makes it compulsory to
resort to the testimony of MIT members, the permission of the MIT
Undersecretary is required." The fact that the MIT members may not
give their testimony concerning State secrets that they have learnt
in course of their duties without receiving the permission of the
MIT Undersecretary serves the aim of protecting State interests.
The afore-mentioned Article authorizes the MIT Undersecretary to
decide whether the issue requiring testimony may harm the State
interests.
