(5) If a block on releasing information within the meaning of section 51 has been entered in the population register, the retrieving body receives notification which may not permit any conclusions to be drawn as to whether no information on the data subject is available or whether a block on releasing information has been entered (neutral response). In such cases, the registration authority is to treat the retrieval as a request for manual data transfer.
