Article 6. Mutual Administrative Assistance

For this purpose, the Parties shall exchange information regarding their applicable regulations.

3. The information received may be used exclusively for the purposes of implementing this annex. If one of the Parties wishes to use such information for other purposes, it must first obtain the written consent of the authority that provided the information. In such a case, the use of the information is subject to any restrictions imposed by that authority.

Assistance may be refused or provided subject to certain conditions or requirements if a Party considers that assistance under this annex:
