Commentary on provisions of Act Section 15: Disclosure of non-food product safety information to Commission
The section establishes a gateway enabling a Minister or the Health and Safety Executive to share with the European Commission, or a person specified by the European Commission, information which relates to non-food product safety as defined in section 18.
	Subsection (1) provides that this applies to information which relates to the safety of non-food products, as defined in section 18, which is held by a Minister or the Health and Safety Executive.
	Subsection (2) establishes a gateway for a Minister or the Health and Safety Executive to share for the purpose of giving effect to Article TBT.9 (or an annex to Article TBT.9) or the chemicals or motor vehicles annexes. This provision is therefore limited to sharing for the purpose of the TCA. The TCA establishes contact points through which this information will be exchanged between the UK Government and the European Commission.
