Potential applicants need not necessarily reveal their identity from the outset. They will always have to indicate the product or service concerned with sufficient precision for the Directorate- General to be able to indicate whether conditional immunity is available. The degree of precision required will vary from case to case depending on whether the Commission already has an investigation, or has received a prior application, in the product or service sector identified by the applicant.
