40It is appropriate to recall at the outset that Regulation No 1049/2001 is intended, as is indicated in recital 4 of the preamble and in Article 1, to give the public a right of access to documents of the institutions which is as wide as possible (Joined Cases C-39/05 P and C-52/05 P Sweden and Turco v Council [2008] ECR I-4723, paragraph 33, and Case T‑63/10 Jurašinović v Council [2012] ECR, paragraph 28). Pursuant to Article 2(3) of the regulation, that right extends not only to documents drawn up by an institution but also to documents received by an institution from third parties, including the Member States, as is expressly stated in Article 3(b) of the regulation.
