66Moreover, as concerns the right of access to the file specifically, it is well-established case-law that it means that the person who is the subject of a measure adversely affecting him must have the opportunity to examine all of the documents in the investigation that might be relevant for his defence. Those documents comprise both inculpatory and exculpatory evidence, with the exception of business secrets concerning other persons, internal documents of the authority that adopted the measure and other confidential information (see, to that effect, judgments of 7 January 2004, Aalborg Portland and Others v Commission, C‑204/00 P, C‑205/00 P, C‑211/00 P, C‑213/00 P, C‑217/00 P and C‑219/00 P, EU:C:2004:6, paragraph 68, and of 25 October 2011, Solvay v Commission, C‑110/10 P, EU:C:2011:687, paragraph 49).
