4a. Where a LNG or storage system operator considers that it is not entitled for confidentiality reasons to make public all the data required, it shall seek the authorisation of the competent authorities to limit publication with respect to the point or points in question.

If the authorisation is granted, available storage and/or LNG facility capacity shall be published without indicating the numerical data that would contravene confidentiality.
