80In that regard, in the absence of an exact deadline set by the applicable legislation, the Council is obliged to provide access to the documents concerned within a reasonable period (see, to that effect, judgment of 16 September 2013 in Bank Kargoshaei and Others v Council, T‑8/11, EU:T:2013:470, paragraph 93). That being said, when considering the reasonableness of the elapsed period, it should be borne in mind that, in so far as the person or entity concerned is not afforded the opportunity to be heard before the initial inclusion of its name on the lists of persons and entities concerned by restrictive measures, the access to the file referred to in paragraph 79 above is the first opportunity for it to be made aware of the documents used by the Council in support of that listing and, accordingly, is of particular interest for its defence.
