7. The Commission decisions containing individual information requests adopted pursuant to paragraph 6 shall be duly justified and proportionate in terms of the volume, nature and granularity of the data requested, as well as the frequency of access to that data, and shall be necessary for the management of the emergency. Such decisions shall contain all of the following elements: a reference to the implementing act referred to in paragraph 2 on which they are based; a description of the situations of severe crisis-related shortages or an imminent threat thereof which has given rise to the decision; safeguards for the protection of personal data in accordance with Article 42, for the non-disclosure of sensitive business information, for the non-disclosure of trade secrets and for the protection of intellectual property contained in the reply in accordance with Article 43; information on the possibility of contesting the decision before the Court of Justice of the European Union in line with relevant Union law; a reasonable time limit not exceeding 20 working days within which the information or the justification for the refusal to supply such information is to be provided. When setting the time limit referred to in point (e) of the second subparagraph, the Commission shall take into consideration, in particular, the size of the economic operator concerned in terms of employees and the effort necessary to collect and make information available. The economic operator may request a one-time extension to the time limit until two days prior to its expiration in the event that the gravity of the situation requires such extension. The Commission shall respond, within one working day, to any such request for an extension to the time limit.
