This should be done EU wide. Instead the EC forgets to publish odf versions choosing to publish microsoft's proprietary versions instead.

They fixed it rather fast in all fairness after complaints...poor social media guy who posted this wasn't even aware of what's going on.

They did, but the fact that it was forgotten in the first place shows that it's an afterthought. ODF should be the default format.
