Article 7 — Requests for information

1. At the request of an applicant enforcement authority, a requested enforcement authority shall, without delay, and at the latest 90 days from the date of the request, provide the applicant enforcement authority with the information requested to establish whether an unfair trading practice with a cross-border dimension has occurred or is occurring in the Member State of the applicant enforcement authority. The applicant enforcement authority and the requested enforcement authority may agree to extend that 90-day period for an additional period of 30 days. 2. Where the requested enforcement authority is not in possession of all the information requested under paragraph 1, its reply to that request may contain only partial information or state the absence of the requested information.

The requested enforcement authority may decide to collect the missing information, in which case it shall inform the applicant enforcement authority of its decision and shall share the information collected with that authority. 3. The information to be provided pursuant to a request under paragraph 1 shall be collected by the requested enforcement authority and used by the applicant enforcement authority only in accordance with their respective national law.
