Hi,
Thanks for sharing the link. Contrary to the subject line, I get the impression that the court did not answer the question on the public domain (as in copyright) status of those harmonized standards that are referenced by EU law. It only answered a specific question on the EU access to documents law and left the second question unanswered. If someone had more time looking at the decision, I would be happy to see a clarification if I am mistaken.

Some relevant snippets from the ruling:
«a harmonised standard, adopted on the basis of a directive [...] forms part of EU law»
«the rule of law, which requires free access to EU law for all natural or legal persons of the European Union»
«there is an overriding public interest [...] justifying the disclosure of the requested harmonised standards»
«As is apparent [...] the Commission should have acknowledged [...] the existence of an overriding public interest»
