Advocate General Bobek proposes broader access to Court documents.

Regulation No 1049/2001 obliges the Commission to grant a third party access to the pleadings submitted by a Member State, of which it holds a copy, in a case that has already been closed.

However, it should be the Court, as master of the judicial file, who should primarily decide on access to documents contained in that file.
