Challenge mounted to Court judgment on opposing access to the documents concerning the EU-Turkey deal of 18 March 2016
On 28 February 2017 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) rejected three applicants’ cases requesting access to the documents held by the Council of the European Union concerning the EU-Turkey deal of 18 March 2016. The Court argued that:
“the three actions as inadmissible on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction. In particular, the General Court held that the EU-Turkey Statement did not relate to an act of the
European Council nor of any other body, office or agency of the Union and hence that the actions fell outside the Court’s jurisdiction.” [LIMITE doc no: 9148-17, pdf) [emphasis added]
