Journalisternas meddelarfrihet och rätten till det fria ordet när de granskar EU-institutionernas hantering av europeiska skattemedel måste vara klart garanterad. Europadomstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna har behandlat Tillackfallet. I sin dom fastslår domstolen att journalister är skyddade av artikel 10 i den Europeiska konventionen för de mänskliga fri- och rättigheterna.

This means that no EU body may, on its own initiative or at the request of others, initiate or participate in legal proceedings which may jeopardise the right of journalists to make use of freedom of speech in their professional activity.
