The work performed under this Regulation by the competent advisory body for the purposes of advising and assisting the Commission should result in an opinion, including an assessment of the need for a Union compulsory licence and its content. That opinion should not be binding. The assessment set out in the opinion of the competent advisory body should enable the Commission to consider the individual merits of the case and determine, on that basis, the conditions of the Union compulsory licence, including what would be adequate remuneration to be paid by the licensee to the right holder. That opinion should also include an annex containing explanations, arguments, factual elements and the results of the analysis conducted, which have been taken into account to carry out the assessment submitted in the opinion. The confidentiality of information is of paramount importance and should be preserved throughout the procedure, including when deciding whether and how information should be included in the opinion and the annex thereto.
