Judgment_paragraph 99 · Kingdom of Sweden v Commission of the European Communities and Others (C-64/05 P)

99As follows from paragraphs 52 to 89 above, Article 4(5) entitles a Member State to object to the disclosure of documents originating from it only on the basis of those exceptions and if it gives proper reasons for its position. That provision also requires that the institution to which such an objection is made must, once the possibilities of dialogue in good faith with the Member State mentioned in paragraph 86 above have been exhausted, make sure that those reasons exist and refer to them in the decision it makes to refuse access.
