Abstract

In a case brought before the General Court of the European Union, the General Court had the opportunity to decide whether free access to harmonised standards adopted by the European Standardisation Committee CEN is justified on the grounds of public access to documents of the European Commission and Regulation 1045/2001. The Court dismissed the action and confirmed the Commission’s decision to deny granting access to the requested harmonised standards.
