Judgment_paragraph 67 · Deza, a.s. v European Chemicals Agency (T-189/14)

67Even if it were accepted that the applicant’s work of systemising public information may have some commercial value, it must still be shown that the systematisation of that information was accompanied by assessments resulting in new scientific conclusions or relating to an inventive strategy which gives the undertaking a commercial advantage over its competitors and which would, as a result, clearly be of a confidential nature (see paragraph 60 above); the applicant was unable to do so. In this context, it is important to recall, first, that the chemical safety report must comply with the format laid down in point 7 of Annex I to Regulation No 1907/2006, which is designed to standardise the method of systemising information. Second, account should be taken that the way in which publicly available information is searched for is facilitated by IT tools such as search engines. These two findings qualify to a certain extent the commercial value of compiling publicly available information.
