Abstract
The conflict between the right to data protection and the right of access to documents is mirrored in the Regulations embodying these rights, as they appear to have conflicting end-goals. The two main conflicts are, first, between the Article 8 of Regulation 45/2001 and the Article 6(1) of Regulation 1049/2001, and second, between the Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation 45/2001 or the principle of purpose limitation that is codified therein, and again the Article 6(1) of Regulation 1049/2001.

While the CJEU has addressed these conflicts to some extent, some unclarities remain. This thesis aims to identify the conflicts between the Regulations and the approach by the Court, and offer some suggestions to clarify that approach further .
