Judgment_paragraph 35 · WWF UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) v Commission of the European Communities (T-105/95)

35The applicant then submits that, especially as the general principle is particularly important, the exceptions provided for in the Code of Conduct should be construed restrictively and in the light of that principle so as to avoid defeating the particular purpose of the Code, namely, that of conferring on the public the right of ‘the broadest possible access to documents’. In support of this argument, the applicant refers to the principles which flow from the case-law of the Court of Justice relating to free movement of persons and freedom of establishment (Case 13/68 Salgoil [1968] ECR 661; Case 2/74 Reyners [1974] ECR 631 and Case 30/77 Bouchereau [1977] ECR 1999) and to the free movement of goods (Case 46/76 Bauhuis [1977] ECR 5; Case 113/80 Commission v Ireland [1981] ECR 1625).
