Example:
Ved e-mail af 1. december 2015 fremsatte A bemærkninger til ministeriets udtalelse. A mente fortsat, at ministeriet ikke havde forklaret, hvorfor en udlevering måtte forventes at være skadelig for den kommende kommissions arbejde. Han henviste bl.a. til praksis for afhøringer i undersøgelseskommissioner, herunder at disse foregår i fuld offentlighed.

could be expected to be
By e-mail of 1 December 2015, A made comments on the ministry's statement. A continued to believe that the ministry had not explained that handing over the documents could be expected to be harmful to the work of the future commission. He referred, among other things to the practice of hearings in commissions of inquiry, including that these take place in full public view.
