93Lastly, with regard to the argument concerning the Member State’s power to dispose of its written submissions drawn up for court proceedings, it follows from case-law that no rule or provision authorises or prevents parties to proceedings from disclosing their own written submissions to third parties and that, apart from exceptional cases where disclosure of a document might adversely affect the proper administration of justice, the principle is that parties are free to disclose their own written submissions (order in Germany v Parliament and Council, C‑376/98, ECR, EU:C:2000:181, paragraph 10, and judgment in API v Commission, paragraph 41 above, EU:T:2007:258, paragraph 88).
