Abstract
Loyalty is a value that employers expect from their employees and it is assumed that employees will act in the interests of their employer. Although the issue came before the Court of First Instance and the Court of Justice, neither court acted to prevent the revelation of the journalist's source. The democratic principle of freedom of the press was displaced by an overriding value of loyalty to one's employer. This ruling is important in many respects. Most importantly, it deals with the freedom of the press to report the internal workings of the European institutions to the citizenry of the European Union. A free press is an essential feature of a free and democratic society and the press has an important function of bringing to the notice of the general public, and also to specialist journals, such as this one, matters of concern that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
