Confidentiality protections allow withholding information unless justification fails, in which case the material may be disregarded. Rule 6 mandates that inherently confidential information or information provided on a confidential basis be treated as confidential by the Director General and not disclosed without the provider's specific authorisation; suppliers may be required to furnish a non-confidential summary or explain why summarisation is impossible. The Director General may disregard information if confidentiality is unjustified or the supplier refuses generalized disclosure, unless corroborated by appropriate sources.
