99M: Sharing of non-compulsorily acquired information not affected

You could also call this:

"The law still lets the Commission share information they got voluntarily with overseas regulators."

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

If you are looking at how the Commission shares information with overseas regulators, you should know that some rules do not change how they share information that they got without forcing someone to give it to them. The Commission can still share this type of information with an overseas regulator, even if the regulator is not a recognised overseas regulator. This is not affected by sections 99B to 99L, unless there is a co-operation arrangement that says something different about the information.
