If the information was provided to the Commission by a complainant, the latter may be informed of the transmission, after contacting the receiving authority to make sure that such a measure would not jeopardise its investigations. The undertaking complained of and other parties, as suppliers of information, may also be informed if the responsible head of unit considers it appropriate and after contacting the receiving authority to make sure that such a measure would not jeopardise its investigations.
