Access to EU documents - Germany and Ireland vote for secrecy even after decision is taken (pdf).

The German and Irish government oppose the release of a document because it shows the positions of EU governments - and they want to invoke the power under Article 4.3 that access to EU documents can be refused even after a measure has been adopted. The majority of governments opposed this view.
