181Those provisions take into account the principles of adversarial proceedings and equality of arms and also the right to a fair trial. They require the other parties to be informed of evidence in support of the arguments advanced and seek to enable them to prepare an effective defence or reply, in accordance with those principles and that right to a fair trial. In addition, the requirement to submit or offer evidence at the initial stage of the procedure is also justified by the objective of the sound administration of justice, inasmuch as it enables the case to be dealt with expeditiously, by means of the swift preparation of the case file (see, to that effect, judgments of 14 April 2005, Gaki-Kakouri v Court of Justice, C‑243/04 P, EU:C:2005:238, paragraph 30, and of 23 November 2023, Ryanair and Airport Marketing Services, C‑758/21 P, EU:C:2023:917, paragraph 41).
