45Lastly, according to settled case-law, if the institution concerned decides to refuse access to a document which it has been asked to disclose, it must, in principle, explain how disclosure of that document could specifically and actually undermine the interest protected by the exception – among those provided for in Article 4 of Regulation No 1049/2001 – upon which it is relying. Moreover, the risk of the interest being undermined must be reasonably foreseeable and not purely hypothetical (Case C-506/08 P Sweden v MyTravel and Commission [2011] ECR I-6237, paragraph 76 and the case-law cited).
