在共同申请中，共同申请人的机密信息可以向其他申请人保密吗？

In a joint application, can confidential information from a joint applicant made secret to the other applicants?

不可以。提交申请的申请人（即代表联合申请人团体提交联合申请的申请人）可以访问申请中包含的所有信息。此外，在意见征询过程中，联合申请人团体内部可能会提及机密信息；例如，在 REACH-IT 中，ECHA 的信息中所有共同申请人都会收到该信息的副本。ECHA 将联合申请视为一个整体，并且不可能做出任何特殊安排来处理联合申请人之间的保密问题。另请参阅问答 596。

No. The submitting applicant (i.e. the applicant submitting the joint application on behalf of the group of joint applicants) has access to all the information contained in the application. Furthermore, during opinion making confidential information is likely to be referred to within the group of joint applicants; for instance, in ECHA's messages in REACH-IT all co-applicants receive a copy of the message.    ECHA will treat a joint application as a whole and has no possibility to make any special arrangements to accommodate confidentiality issues between joint applicants.    See also Q&A 596.
