The ACCC requires consent (i.e. a confidentiality waiver) from the merger parties before confidential information can be shared with competition authorities in other jurisdictions. Where appropriate, the ACCC will request that the merger parties complete the ACCC’s standard form confidentiality waiver to allow the ACCC to share confidential information with overseas competition authorities. To receive information from other competition authorities, the ACCC may request reciprocal confidentiality waivers from the merger parties to allow the overseas competition authority to share confidential information with the ACCC.
