29That view is not undermined by the emphasis placed in the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 4(2) on the duty to weigh the interests involved ‘[i]n every particular case’. Such emphasis is intended to stress that interests must be weighed, not on the basis of a general measure, adopted by the national legislature for example, but on the basis of an actual and specific examination of each situation brought before the competent authorities in connection with a request for access to environmental information made on the basis of Directive 2003/4 (see, to that effect, Case C-266/09 Stichting Natuur en Milieu and Others [2010] not yet published in the ECR, paragraphs 55 to 58).
