Any person entrusted with the enforcement of an applicable agreement and this Act or who is involved in their enforcement shall preserve confidentiality towards other authorities and private individuals about the findings of which they become aware in the course of their work.
There is no obligation to preserve confidentiality:
for the transmission of information and notifications under the applicable agreement and this Act;
with respect to judicial and administrative bodies that have been authorised in the specific case by the FDF to obtain official information from the authorities entrusted with the enforcement of this Act;
insofar as the applicable agreement allows for the removal of the confidentiality obligation and there is a legal basis for this removal under Swiss law.
Findings relating to third parties made in the course of a review in accordance with Article 28 may be used only for the implementation of the applicable agreement.
