As the purpose of providing access to the file is to enable the addressees of a statement of objections to express their views on the conclusions reached by the Commission, the firms in question must have access to all the documents making up the 'file` of the Commission (DG IV), apart from the categories of documents identified in the Hercules judgment (7), namely the business secrets of other undertakings, internal Commission documents (8) and other confidential information.
Ker je namen zagotavljanja dostopa do spisa omogočiti naslovnikom ugotovitve o možnih kršitvah, da izrazijo svoja mnenja o sklepih, ki jih je sprejela Komisija, morajo imeti zadevna podjetja dostop do vseh dokumentov, ki tvorijo "spis" Komisije (DG IV), razen kategorij dokumentov, opredeljenih v sodbi v primeru Hercules [7], namreč poslovnih tajnosti drugih podjetij, internih dokumentov Komisije [8] in drugih zaupnih informacij.
