11 . In the context of conventional arms control, individuals or companies whoseapplications have been turned down by the NCACC have a legal basis to requestreasons for such decisions. Taking into account the sensitivity and confidentialityof some cases that the NCACC deals with, it is not always possible to providereasons for ail permit applications turned down. In view of this, the NCACCdecided to request an exemption from the full application of this Act This requestwas based on Section 1 of the Act, which provides that the Minister of Justice-has the power to exempt administrative institutions from the application of theAct
