Judgment_paragraph 42 · Friends of the Irish Environment Ltd v Commissioner for Environmental Information (C-470/19)

42In that regard, the approach taken by the Court in the judgment of 14 February 2012, Flachglas Torgau (C‑204/09, EU:C:2012:71, paragraphs 54 to 58), cannot lead, by analogy, to a different conclusion since at issue in the case which gave rise to that judgment was access to information held by a ‘public authority’, within the meaning of the first subparagraph of Article 2, point 2, of Directive 2003/4. Nor is that the case of the approach taken by the Court in the judgments of 21 September 2010, Sweden and Others v Commission (C‑514/07 P, C‑528/07 P, C‑532/07 P, EU:C:2010:541), and of 18 July 2017, Commission v Breyer (C‑213/15 P, EU:C:2017:563), which concerned public access to documents relating to proceedings before the EU Courts, such access being governed by provisions of EU law, the content of which differs materially from those of which the interpretation is at issue in the present proceedings.
