38That right also requires the authorities to pay due attention to the observations thus submitted by the person concerned, examining carefully and impartially all the relevant aspects of the individual case and giving a detailed statement of reasons for their decision (see the judgments in Technische Universität München, C‑269/90, EU:C:1991:438, paragraph 14, and Sopropé, EU:C:2008:746, paragraph 50); the obligation to state reasons for a decision which are sufficiently specific and concrete to allow the person concerned to understand why his application is being rejected is thus a corollary of the principle of respect for the rights of the defence (the judgment in M., EU:C:2012:744, paragraph 88).
