Judgment_paragraph 128 · Guido Strack v European Commission (C-127/13 P)

128Finally, it must be observed that the appellant’s criticism relating to paragraph 229 of the judgment under appeal is unfounded. First, it is clear from that paragraph that the Commission did in fact examine the existence of overriding public interests. Second, the case-law of the Court provides that it is for the applicant to show that there is an overriding public interest to justify the disclosure of the documents concerned (see judgment in LPN and Finland v Commission, C‑514/11 P and C‑605/11 P, EU:C:2013:738, paragraph 94).
