Judgment_paragraph 182 · Aeris Invest Sàrl v European Central Bank (T-827/17)

182Next, it should be borne in mind that the case-law which established the existence of general presumptions of confidentiality is based on the fact that the exceptions to the right of access to documents set out in Article 4 of Regulation No 1049/2001 cannot, where the documents subject to the application for disclosure fall within a particular area of EU law, be interpreted without taking account of the specific rules governing access to those documents. Those general presumptions thus make it possible to ensure consistency in the application of legal rules which pursue different objectives and do not expressly provide for one to take precedence over the other (see judgment of 19 September 2018, Chambre de commerce et d’industrie métropolitaine Bretagne-Ouest (port de Brest) v Commission, T‑39/17, not published, EU:T:2018:560, paragraph 55 and the case-law cited).
