Brussels – The European Commission will consider the EU General Court’s ruling, which partially supported Slovenian MEP Milan Zver (EPP/SDS) in his legal case against the Commission regarding access to information on the visit of then Vice-President Vera Jourova to Slovenia in 2023. Brussels announced that it is in the process of implementing the ruling.
On June 18, the EU General Court partially upheld Zver’s lawsuit, wherein he sought to annul the Commission’s decision that had partially denied his request for documents linked to Jourova’s visit to Slovenia in early March 2023.
The court deemed a part of the Commission’s decision null and void, specifically regarding the denial of access to a redacted sentence from a document prepared for Jourova’s meeting with then President of the Constitutional Court Matej Accetto.
The court dismissed Zver’s claims in other respects, including his assertion that the Vice-President responsible for transparency had abused her power.
Zver highlighted the controversial nature of the meeting between Jourova and Accetto, which coincided with the court’s review of the constitutionality of the amendment concerning the law on Radio and Television Slovenia (RTVS).
On Saturday, Zver expressed on the social network X that the Commission, two weeks after the ruling became final, “is still concealing a single point of conversation between Vera Jourova and Matej Accetto.”
“If the EU can disregard its own court, why should member states honor its rulings? Transparency for citizens, concealment for the Brussels elite. I reject such double standards!” he asserted. (September 16)
