116It should be noted at the outset that, according to the case-law, once the necessity of having the personal data transferred is established, the institution or body of the European Union in receipt of an application for access to documents containing such data must weigh up the various interests of the parties concerned and verify whether there is any reason to assume that the data subjects’ legitimate interests may be prejudiced by that transfer, as required by Article 8(b) of Regulation No 45/2001 (see, to that effect, judgments in Commission v Bavarian Lager, cited in paragraph 4 above, EU:C:2010:378, paragraph 78, and Dennekamp v Parliament, cited in paragraph 4 above, EU:T:2011:688, paragraph 30).
