119Thirdly, the appellant submits that the General Court erred in law in attaching significant weight to the separate arbitration that it had brought under the Energy Charter Treaty, signed in Lisbon on 17 December 1994 (OJ 1994 L 380, p. 24), approved on behalf of the European Communities by Council and Commission Decision 98/181/EC, ECSC, Euratom of 23 September 1997 (OJ 1998 L 69, p. 1). According to the appellant, the General Court justifies the approach it took by the need for protection of the public interest as regards international relations, for the purposes of Article 4(1) of Regulation No 1049/2001, but does not explain how this could be undermined by the production of the documents at issue. The appellant submits that arbitration proceedings are not ‘international relations’, within the meaning of that provision.
