Article 6
1. All parties involved in the peer reviews shall respect the confidentiality of information and data obtained in carrying out their tasks and activities in such a manner as to protect, in particular: (a) intellectual property rights and confidential business information or trade secrets of a natural or legal person, including source code, except the cases referred to in Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 3 ) ; (b) the effective implementation of this Regulation; (c) public and national security interests; (d) integrity of criminal or administrative proceedings. 2. The peer-review team shall ensure that any information obtained through the peer-review process is handled securely. Once the final report and the summary referred to in Article 5(4) have been drawn up, the peer-review team, including any observer, shall delete or destroy all documents, other than the final report and the summary, that have been collected or generated as part of the peer-review process. 3. ENISA, taking into account existing best practices of the NCCAs, may, in cooperation with the ECCG, develop guidelines on secure and confidential communications.
