56The transparency of the process followed by a public authority for the adoption of a measure of that nature contributes to that authority acquiring greater legitimacy in the eyes of the persons to whom that measure is addressed and increasing their confidence in that authority (see, to that effect, the judgments in Sweden and Turco v Council, C‑39/05 P and C‑52/05 P, EU:C:2008:374, paragraph 59, and Sweden v MyTravel and Commission, C‑506/08 P, EU:C:2011:496, paragraph 113), and to ensuring that the authority is more accountable to citizens in a democratic system (see, to that effect, the judgments in Sweden and Turco v Council, C‑39/05 P and C‑52/05 P, EU:C:2008:374, paragraph 45; Council v Access Info Europe, C‑280/11 P, EU:C:2013:671, paragraph 32; and Council v in 't Veld, C‑350/12 P, EU:C:2014:2039, paragraphs 53, 106 and 107).
