69The mere fact that the Republic of Slovenia is relying on the document at issue in proceedings before the Court against a party other than the institution from which the advice contained in it comes has no bearing on the public interest of the institutions in being able to benefit from the advice of their legal service, given in full independence, and does not therefore render superfluous the weighing up of interests that is required in order to rule on the request that that document be removed from the case file (see, by analogy, order of 23 October 2002, Austria v Council, C‑445/00, EU:C:2002:607, paragraph 12).
