Judgment_paragraph 60 · HF v European Parliament (C-570/18 P)

60The Court has previously held that, in a dispute concerning harassment involving European officials, the person who lodged a complaint of harassment with the Director-General for Personnel is entitled, in order to be able effectively to submit his observations to the institution concerned before it takes a decision, to receive a summary, at the very least, of the statements made by the person accused of harassment and the various witnesses heard during the investigation procedure and that such a summary must be disclosed while respecting, if necessary, the principle of confidentiality. The Court noted that that was the case as the statements had been used in the report which had been submitted to the authority that had taken the decision not to pursue the complaint and included recommendations on the basis of which that authority had made its decision (see, to that effect, judgment of 4 April 2019, OZ v EIB, C‑558/17 P, EU:C:2019:289, paragraph 57).
