Judgment_paragraph 66 · IFAW Internationaler Tierschutz-Fonds gGmbH v Commission of the European Communities (T-168/02)

66The applicant claims that the contested decision effectively restates the position adopted by the acting Director-General of DG ‘Environment’, that is to say, that the German authorities requested the Commission not to release the documents originating from them, but without explaining the reasons for the refusal. It maintains that it does not know whether the contested decision is grounded in law or is arbitrary and that it has been denied the opportunity to examine the contested decision's legal basis (Petrie, cited above, paragraph 77, and Case T-123/99 JT's Corporation v Commission [2000] ECR II-3269, paragraph 63). The applicant states that it knows only that the German authorities requested that the documents not be disclosed and that the Commission followed that request blindly.
