If:
(a) a person (the first person ) applies for a GMO licence; and
(b) the first person provides information to the Regulator for the purposes of the Regulator's consideration of the application; and
(c) the information is confidential commercial information;
the Regulator must not take that information into account for the purposes of considering an application by another person for a GMO licence, unless the first person has given written consent for the information to be so taken into account.
