182As regards the probative value of those two documents, it must be recalled that the principle which prevails in European Union law is that of the unfettered evaluation of evidence and that the only relevant criterion for the purpose of assessing the evidence adduced is its reliability (Case T-44/00 Mannesmannröhren-Werke v Commission [2004] ECR II-2223, paragraph 84). Accordingly, in order to assess the probative value of an item of evidence, regard should be had first to the credibility of the account it contains. Account must then be taken of, inter alia, the person from whom the document originates, the circumstances in which it came into being, the person to whom it was addressed and whether, on its face, the document appears sound and reliable (Cimenteries CBR and Others v Commission, paragraph 56 above, paragraph 1838, Joined Cases T-44/02 OP, T-54/02 OP, T-56/02 OP, T-60/02 OP and T-61/02 OP Dresdner Bank and Others v Commission [2006] ECR II-3567, paragraph 121).
