The point (as discussed now within interested parties) is that Technical Standards, and namely Harmonized Standards in the realm of the so called "New Approach" to products compliance, are now cited as recommended and voluntary technical measures for reaching compliance to some EU Directive or Regulation. Up to now, technical standards are discussed and published in sort-of private organizations, although sometimes funded by governments. Here the court expressed the opinion that these Harmonized Standards have somehow lawful relevance and should be freely available (not paywalled) to all EU Citizends.
