  • The case challenges the Commission's claim that messages lacked substantive content requiring archiving amid accusations of opaque, centralized governance.
  • Lawyer Bondine Kloostra stated the case questions if officials evade transparency by using private text messages instead of formal communication.
  • The ruling could set precedent for EU officials' communication transparency, affecting how digital exchanges relate to public access rules.
