I have two more questions and then I will let others in.

I ask the witnesses for their views on head 38(4)(a) which states "where the complainant so requests, the Office shall take the necessary measures ... for the appropriate protection of any other information in respect of ... [the] members or suppliers ... [etc.]". Rather than the reference to requesting, should confidentiality not be the default position? Is the CCPC concerned that the way the text is structured could leave room for interpretation that may have an adverse effect on what may be the assumption of confidentiality?
