Hi,

Thanks for sharing the link. Contrary to the subject line, I get the
impression that the court did not answer the question on the public domain
(as in copyright) status of those harmonized standards that are referenced
by EU law. It only answered a specific question on the EU access to
documents law and left the second question unanswered. If someone had more
time looking at the decision, I would be happy to see a clarification if I
am mistaken.
