45Unlike Article 4(4) of Regulation No 1049/2001, which gives third parties only a right to be consulted, with respect to documents originating from them, by the institution concerned as regards the application of one of the exceptions in Article 4(1) and (2), Article 4(5) of the regulation makes the prior agreement of the Member State a necessary condition for the disclosure of a document originating from it, if that State so requests (IFAW Internationaler Tierschutz-Fonds v Commission, paragraph 54).
