"Keeping some information secret: what the Commission can't share with other countries"

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

The Commission gets some information under Part 4 of the Commerce Act. You are not allowed to give this information to overseas regulators unless it is already public. If the information is public, the Commission can provide it to an overseas regulator, but they must get it from the public domain, not from what they obtained under Part 4, which you can read more about by following the link to Part 4.
