      Form of order sought
   
   The applicant claims that the Court should:
   
               —
            
            
               annul the decision of 22 August 2017 (C(2017) 5879 final) of the Secretary- General on behalf of the European Commission, rejecting the applicant’s confirmatory application for access to European Commission documents relating to an exhaustive list of all the specific contracts signed between the Commission and a specific supplier during the last six years and to a copy of all requests for quotation related to those specific contracts;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the Commission to provide this information in a clear and complete manner in order to allow the public and the applicant to calculate the number of person-days that the specific supplier invoiced to the Commission per year;
            
         
               —
            
            
               order the Commission to pay the applicant’s legal and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with this application, even if the current application is rejected.
            
         
      Pleas in law and main arguments
   
   In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.
   
               1.
            
            
               First plea in law, alleging a failure by the defendant to carry out an individual assessment in relation to the requested documents, in breach of Article 4(6) and Article 6(3) of Regulation No 1049/2001. (1)
               
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second plea in law, alleging that none of the exceptions to disclosure under Regulation No 1049/2001 applies in the present case and that the Commission has failed to substantiate the disproportionate burden that it claims would result from a full examination and disclosure of the requested documents.
            
         
      (1)  Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (OJ 2001, L 145, p. 43).
