The Ombudsman observed that, in dealing with the request for access, the Commission had put forward that the monitoring could potentially result in an infringement procedure under the Euratom Treaty, even though, by the time the request was made, the Commission had already acknowledged that the Euratom Treaty does not apply to Greenland.
Thug an tOmbudsman faoi deara gur go raibh sé curtha in iúl ag an gCoimisiún go bhféadfadh nós imeachta sáraithe faoi Chonradh Euratom a bheith mar thoradh ar an monatóireacht, nuair a bhí sé ag déileáil leis an iarratas rochtana, cé go raibh sé admhaithe ag an gCoimisiún faoin am a rinneadh an t-iarratas, nach mbaineann Conradh Euratom leis an nGraonlainn.
