54It should be recalled that, at the hearing, the General Court requested that the Council lodge, within 1 week, the documents referred to in footnotes 8 and 9 of the decision rejecting the complaint. However, on 6 June 2018, the Council lodged not only the two abovementioned documents (Annexes E.1 and E.6 to the procedural document of 6 June 2018), but also four further documents not referred to in the General Court’s request (Annexes E.2 to E.5 to the procedural document of 6 June 2018), and presented the content of the latter in paragraphs 4 to 7 of the procedural document of 6 June 2018. It follows that the documents contained in the abovementioned Annexes E.2 to E.5, the document contained in Annex E.1 concerning the SDU meeting of 29 January 2015 (also not referred to in the General Court’s request) and the arguments set out in paragraphs 4 to 7 of the procedural document of 6 June 2018 are inadmissible under Article 85(3) of the Rules of Procedure, in so far as they are not referred to in the request made by the General Court at the hearing, and in so far as the Council provided no explanation as to why they were not lodged previously.
