art_21__para_2

2. Member States shall identify key market operators along the critical raw materials value chain established in their territory and shall: monitor their activities by exploring publicly available data and if necessary through regular and proportionate surveys with a view to gathering information required for the Commission’s monitoring and stress testing pursuant to Article 20; in their reports submitted pursuant to Article 45, provide information about the results of the information gathering pursuant to point (a) of this subparagraph; without delay notify the Commission of major events that may hinder the regular operations of the activities of key market operators. Key market operators may refuse to submit data requested pursuant to point (a) of the first subparagraph if the sharing of such data would lead to the disclosure of trade or business secrets. They shall submit such data only to the extent that it is already available to them. Where a key market operator refuses to submit data requested or claims that it is not available, it shall provide the requesting Member State with reasons therefor.
