c
the other provisions of F5Chapter A1 apply to a charge so treated with specified modifications.
4
The information-sharing arrangements must ensure that persons inspecting the F6register—
a
are made aware, in a manner appropriate to the inspection, of the existence of charges in the special register which are treated in accordance with provision so made, and
b
are able to obtain information from the special register about any such charge.

a
modify any enactment or rule of law which would otherwise restrict or prevent the responsible person from entering into or giving effect to information-sharing arrangements,

authorise the responsible person to require information to be provided to him for the purposes of the arrangements,

make provision about—
i
the charging by the responsible person of fees in connection with the arrangements and the destination of such fees (including provision modifying any enactment which would otherwise apply in relation to fees payable to the responsible person), and

require the registrar to make copies of the arrangements available to the public (in hard copy or electronic form).
