85Nor is the interpretation of Article 20(2)(b) of Regulation No 1/2003 set out in paragraph 83 above called into question by the appellants’ argument that Article 21(4) of Regulation No 1/2003, which refers, as regards inspections of premises other than those of the undertaking under inspection, to the Commission’s powers referred to in Article 20(2)(a) to (c) of Regulation No 1/2003, would be rendered meaningless if it were to be inferred from Article 20 that the Commission is permitted to inspect documents located elsewhere than at the premises of that undertaking. Indeed, Article 21 of Regulation No 1/2003 relates to a completely different situation from that concerned by Article 20 of that regulation, namely the possibility for the Commission to conduct inspections at premises other than the business premises of the undertaking concerned, such as the homes or means of transport of its members of staff, where there is a reasonable suspicion that books or other business records relating to the subject matter of the inspection are kept there which may be relevant to prove a serious infringement of Article 101 or 102 TFEU.
