Statewatch wins important case with European Ombudsman (who also has
very cool logo)

In a nutshell, this damning judgement calls on the Council of the
European Union (i.e. the member states' executive/deliberative body in
EU) will now have to record ALL documents in the official register.
The Council is still making weasling attempts to allow "non-papers" or
crucially influential stuff that circulated informally to be
arbitrarily airbrushed from history, so it may require a resolution of
European Parliament to enforce.
This arose in the context of requests to Council for docs on 'ENFOPOL'
policy - the precursor to the recent and current flurry of new
interception and traffic data retention law.
