Consequences balance 13-14 conflict between

It is evident that the quality of communication within a project is critical. The work is a team effort. One discipline s output is another discipline s input. The information transfer has to be co-ordinated in time and co-ordinated in content (to ensure that it is appropriate and comprehensive), and there has to be an effective feedback loop to ensure that information is understood and that perceived problems and conflicts are properly handled. Outputs of one discipline often affect the work, completed or still to be done, of other disciplines, in ways not identified or planned as prime input information. (For example, consequences of instrumentation design, see Section 18.5) At management level, a balance constantly has to be struck between the often-conflicting demands of time, cost, quality, and scope for correct compromises, comprehensive information is essential. The larger the project or the more ambitious the time schedule, the greater the need for quick and appropriate communication. 

Consequently, in defining States Parties rights and obligations, the Convention embodies a balance between that disclosure necessary to enhance confidence in compliance with the Convention, and the prevention of disclosure of information not relevant to the Convention, in order to protect national security and proprietary rights, taking into account constitutional obligations. These two objectives are not necessarily in conflict on the contrary, a credible and effective process of verification can be achieved which actively and integrally protects confidentiality. The Convention text provides practical assurances that all confidential information will be appropriately protected and that verification procedures will seek to prevent the disclosure of information not related to verification of compliance with the Convention.
