Step 1
You can refuse to provide information in the event that it is a state or commercial secret. Also, the number of non-distributed information includes any other secrets that are protected by law. The decision to refuse to receive information must be provided in a special notification.
Step 2
To draw up a document notifying the refusal to issue information, you are given only three days. True, this is indeed the case if you received a written request. In the event that information was requested from you in a telephone conversation or other private conversation, you can also refuse verbally.
Step 3
When drawing up a written notice of refusal to provide the requested information, you must indicate, first of all, the reason why such a decision was made.
