199On the other hand, as set out in paragraphs 164 and 165 above, it does not follow from either the specific provisions of Article 19 of the basic regulation that are intended to safeguard the interests protected by the confidentiality of the information used during an anti-dumping investigation or the case-law that the protection of information covered by business secrecy requires the exclusion, on principle, of all disclosure of that information to interested parties, irrespective of the circumstances. In particular, it is necessary to consider the particular situation of the interested party with regards to that information and, in particular, the position that that interested party occupies on the market under consideration in relation to the position of the supplier of the information. Furthermore, the interests safeguarded by the protection of business secrets must be weighed against the rights of defence of the interested parties.
