91The General Court has accepted that an institution cannot, on the basis of Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation No 1049/2001, refuse access to documents on the ground that their disclosure would undermine the privacy and integrity of an individual, when the documents in question contain personal data exclusively concerning the applicant for access. The General Court has also accepted that, in those circumstances, the right of the latter to obtain disclosure on the basis of the right of access to documents of the institutions cannot have the consequence of opening a right of access of the public in general to those documents (judgment of 22 May 2012 in Internationaler Hilfsfonds v Commission, T‑300/10, ECR, EU:T:2012:247, paragraphs 107 to 109).
