"The Council of the EU has classified its own reaction to a landmark ruling on transparency by the EU-court in Luxembourg. The Court said citizens have a right to know. The Council refuses to disclose how this requirement will be met."

See: Council obstructs ruling on transparency (Wobbing, link) by Staffan Dahllöf.
