If \"cofidentiel\" is a level of security clearance, why not use something like:

Confidential-Level Security Clearance

or

\"Confidential\" [in \"x\" to indicate that its a defined category] Security Cleance

neutral  Tony M: I certainly agree with the 'security clearance' bit, but I believe 'confidentiel' refers to the LEVEL of this clearance, so must not be left out?

agree  Tony M: This is the level I had, NOT 'secret' but just 'confidential'

agree  Charlie Bavington: as long as the country whose Ministry of Defence is involved is specified - Belgian MoD, French MoD, whatever it may be, to avoid any possible misunderstanding, which could be vital here.
39 mins
agree  DocteurPC: with agreement to Charlie's comment - can you imagine the Russian and/or the American Ministry of Defence during the Cold War? not the same at all!!! mind you if it's Nato, it's probably the US, not the Russian
