《环境信息公开办法（暂行）》规定，“商业秘密”是企业应当提交政府的信息中唯一可以免予公开的信息。然而，此规定并不足以在信息公开过程中保障企业利益；因为有些“机密信息”不符合“商业秘密”的四要件，与公共利益无涉，却对企业具有重要的经济价值，应该获得保护。保护“机密信息”是保障企业私有财产权的必要，应当豁免其公开。美国在保护“机密信息”方面具有丰富的立法与司法经验，值得借鉴。

"Disclosure of Environmental Information (Interim)" formulates that the trade secret is the only exemption of enterprises’s information submitted to the government from the disclosure. However, this provision can not adequately protect the interests of enterprises in the process of information disclosure, because some of "Confidential Information" does not meet the four elements of "trade secrets". Such information is not involved with the public interest, but has significant economic values to the enterprises, which has to be protected. The protection of "confidential information" is a must to protect private property of companies and they should be exempted from the disclosure. America has a rich experience in the legislative and judicial protection of "confidential information" , which deserves our reference.
