As regards legal ability to share information, the SCA would be limited with respect to sharing information to the extent that the information is classified as confidential as set out by the Swedish Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act. It can be noted that in Swedish law, confidentiality applies among other things to information relating to the SCAʼs investigations of anticompetitive  agreements or abuse of dominant position practices if it is of particular importance for the purpose of the investigation that the information is not disclosed. Therefore, the assessment as to the legal ability and appropriateness to share authority non-public information would depend on the information in question and be assessed on a case-by-case basis within that legal framework.   Furthermore, within the framework of the Nordic Cooperation Agreement the following applies:  For the purpose of applying competition rules and merger control rules the competition authorities of the Parties shall have the power to provide one another with and use in evidence any matter of  fact or of law, including confidential information.   Information exchanged shall only be used in evidence and in respect of the subject matter for which it was collected by the transmitting authority
