383In that regard, the Court of Justice has held, with regard to Article 54 of Directive 2004/39, which establishes the general rule that disclosure of confidential information held by the competent authorities is prohibited and lists exhaustively the specific cases where, exceptionally, that general prohibition does not preclude their communication or use, that it was, accordingly not the aim of that article to create a right of access that can be exercised by the public to information held by the competent authorities or to regulate in detail how any such right of access that may be recognised in some cases by national law is to be exercised (judgment of 19 June 2018, Baumeister, C‑15/16, EU:C:2018:464, paragraphs 38 and 39).
