The legal advice was clear that the confidentiality clauses cannot be breached. I think there is a GDPR problem there as well. I have always said in my conversations with the DG that if there is a way, such a way should be found. I suggested speaking to the people in question to see if they would waive their confidentiality. Whatever can bring transparency to those payments is welcome. I believe, as outlined in the legal advice, that the confidentiality cannot be breached. I also believe that there are GDPR issues.
