Same for information exchanges within the ECN, which are governed by specific rules (see Regulation 1/2003 and the Commission Notice on cooperation within the Network of Competition Authorities), the Commission will only discuss confidential information received under the Leniency Notice with other competition authorities pursuant to a confidentiality waiver provided by the leniency applicant. To this end, DG Competition has fully endorsed the ICN’s waiver template (https://ec.europa.eu/competition-policy/system/files/2021-11/leniency_full_confidentiality_waiver.pdf ). Information is exchanged only if both agencies have received a waiver.
