Judgment_paragraph 60 · WM and Sovim SA v Luxembourg Business Registers (C-37/20)

60In so far as the Council of the European Union also refers, in that context, expressly to the principle of transparency, as follows from Articles 1 and 10 TEU and from Article 15 TFEU, it should be noted that that principle, as the Council itself states, enables citizens to participate more closely in the decision-making process and guarantees that the administration enjoys greater legitimacy and is more effective and more accountable to the citizen in a democratic system (judgment of 9 November 2010, Volker und Markus Schecke and Eifert, C‑92/09 and C‑93/09, EU:C:2010:662, paragraph 68 and the case-law cited).
