Such a request clearly indicates the part(s) of the notification that should be kept confidential.\nFurthermore, each request for confidentiality is accompanied by a justification clearly stating the reasons.\nRequests for confidentiality are subject to examination by the Commission. The Commission checks that the request is complete (i.e. that it states which parts of the notification are covered by confidentiality and that it contains a justification) and justified (i.e. that it is in line with the provisions of the GPSD and these Guidelines). A decision as to the validity of the request is taken by the Commission after consulting the respective RAPEX Contact Point. (See Part II, Chapter 5.1).",
