55Accordingly, to apply the condition as to the necessity of the transfer of personal data set out in Article 8(b) of Regulation No 45/2001 is to recognise the existence of an exception to the rule laid down by Article 6(1) of Regulation No 1049/2001. That consequence is justified by the effet utile that must be conferred on the provisions of Regulation No 45/2001, since any solution other than that of having the necessity of the transfer of personal data examined in the light of the objective of the applicant for access to documents would necessarily result in Article 8(b) of that regulation being disapplied.
