77Next, the procedure laid down in Articles 6 to 8 of Regulation No 1049/2001 principally aims to achieve the swift and straightforward processing of applications for access to documents and, as a secondary matter, to avoid, in accordance with the principle of sound administration, the institution from bearing a disproportional workload (see, to that effect, judgment of 2 October 2014, Strack v Commission, C‑127/13 P, EU:C:2014:2250, paragraphs 25, 27 and 28). That procedure has therefore been introduced in the interests of persons requesting access to documents, whilst taking into account the constraints of the institutions. However, that procedure does not per se aim to protect the interests of third parties, and in particular that of the Member States, in opposing the disclosure of certain documents originating from them and also does not take account of the constraints of third parties and of the Member States where they are consulted on the possible disclosure of those documents.
