In such a case, possible disclosure of the confidential information to a court or party being investigated would be subject to the Lithuanian Law on Competition requirements, i.e.:  - the Competition Council and its administrative staff must protect commercial and professional secrets that they became aware of in the course of exercising control over compliance with the Lithuanian Law on Competition and, in the absence of the consent of the undertaking, may use it only for the purposes it was provided.  The Competition Council is not entitled to access information covered by the professional secrecy of a lawyer (Article 21(1) of the Lithuanian Law on Competition); - the court may order evidence in the case containing confidential information if such information can be regarded as evidence in civil damage claims proceedings. Upon receipt or requiring evidence, the court shall take effective measures to protect confidential information (Article 52(5) of the Lithuanian Law on Competition); - the Competition Council is empowered to disclose the commercial or professional secrecy of undertakings to the entities suspected of an infringement in respect of their rights to defence and to use such confidential information for investigating infringements, which are subject to fines (Article 21(2) of the Lithuanian Law on Competition).
