Judgment of 25 Apr 2007

36With regard to the alleged inadequacy of the statement of reasons in the contested decision, settled case-law provides that the purpose of the obligation on the institution to state the reasons for its decision to refuse access to a document is, first, to provide the person concerned with sufficient information to make it possible to determine whether the decision is well founded or whether it is vitiated by an error which may permit its validity to be contested and, secondly, to enable the Community judicature to review the lawfulness of the decision. The extent of that obligation depends on the nature of the measure at issue and the context in which it was adopted (see Case T-187/03 Scippacercola v Commission [2005] ECR II-1029, paragraph 66 and the case-law cited).
