Confidential information in safeguard proceedings must be protected, with summary disclosure required only where confidentiality is not justified.

Confidential information supplied in safeguard proceedings is to be treated as confidential by the Director-General where cause is shown and must not be disclosed without the provider's specific authorisation. The Director-General may require a non-confidential summary, and if summarisation is said to be impossible, reasons may be submitted. If confidentiality is not warranted or disclosure in public or summary form is refused, the Director-General may disregard the information unless its correctness is independently demonstrated from appropriate sources.
