78Finally, as regards the interest of the general public and of the Commission’s contractors in the transparency of audits, which is the final point on which the applicants rely (see paragraph 70 above), it is true that this constitutes a public interest, to the extent that it is objective and general in nature (see, to that effect, judgment in Reagens v Commission, cited in paragraph 49 above, EU:T:2014:139, paragraph 142). Nevertheless, in the circumstances of the present case, the interest in transparency of audits is not so pressing that it should outweigh the interest in protecting the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits.
