The Finnish news agency STT has reported that personal information on attendees at the recent EU-US summit in Prague was accessible on a public computer in a local hotel. The agency uncovered the information shortly after the summit - held on April 5 - had ended. The summit saw leaders from 27 EU countries, as well as US President Barack Obama, attend. According to the agency, the information included passport and flight numbers, as well as blood groups and allergies of some 200 participants, including several prime ministers and presidents. It reportedly did not include information on the US delegation. A spokeswoman for the Czech Minister for European Affairs said the public leak was a mistake by a hotel employee. She stressed that the info was not classified and had since been deleted. Helsinki may still ask Prague – which holds the EU presidency – to conduct an official investigation.
