Last year the Commission released some documents relating to its exchanges with the company in question but denied access to others. But EU legislation is a three way affair — requiring buy in from the Commission and Council, too. Here’s the statement, attributed to European Commission spokesperson for Home Affairs, Anitta Hipper:The Commission will provide access to documents as appropriate and within our legal framework. Specifically, as regards the Ombudsman recommendation, the Commission will carefully consider the recommendation of the Ombudsman. We reached out to Thorn but it did not respond to a request for comment about the ombudsman’s inquiry.
