5) where information is being created within a public authority, and its publication prior to completing the creation of comprehensive and final information might seriously damage the process of adopting a decision; 6) where access to information is restricted under international treaties; 7) in other cases stipulated by the law. (3) Public authorities may restrict access to information if there are grounds to suspect that its publication might: 1) prevent efficient, independent and unbiased conduct of judicial, administrative or other legally regulated proceedings, or the execution of a court decision or sentence; 2) prevent the work of any bodies conducting administrative supervision, inspection supervision or the supervision of legality; 3) infringe on any intellectual property rights, except in the event of expressed written consent of the author or the owner. (4) Any information in respect of which the right of access is restricted for the reasons stated in paragraph 3(3) of this article shall become available to the public on the date specified by the person to whom the publication of information might cause damage, but no later than 20 years from the day of information creation, unless a longer period has been laid down by law or other regulation. (5) If the requested information also includes any data which is subject to the restriction referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this article, the remaining parts of the information shall be made available. (6) The information shall be available to the public on cessation of the reasons for which the public authority has restricted the access to such information. Proportionality and public interest test Article 16 (1) Public authorities competent for acting on the request for access to information referred to in Article 15(2)(2-7) and (3) of this Act shall, prior to passing a decision, conduct a proportionality and public interest test. Information owners referred to in Article 15(2)(1) of this Act shall conduct a proportionality and public interest test prior to passing a decision, and having previously obtained an opinion of the Office of the National Security Council. (2) When carrying out a proportionality and public interest test, public authorities shall determine whether access to information may be restricted for the purpose of protecting any of the protected interests referred to in Article 15(2) and (3) of this Act, whether enabling access to the requested information in each individual case would seriously damage such interest and whether the need to protect the right to restriction or public interest prevails. Where public interest is found to prevail against the protected interests, the information shall be made available. 8
