UK law - don't know whether it comes from some EU law though.  Probably some 
human rights thingy about an employer having to reveal their reasoning for 
not choosing you so you know there was no illegal discrimination involved. 
If the employer won't give you a legal reason then you can take them to some 
employment tribunal where the real reason will be exposed and they could be 
punished if it's illegal.

Obivously only in very rare occasions does that happen, most employers will 
be happy to give you a brief reasoning straight away if you take the effort 
to write to them.
