PUBLIC SECTOR INFORMATION POLICY
Proposal for Directive on Public Sector Information: the different stages
On the 5th June 2002 the European Commission adopted a proposal for a Directive on the re-use and commercial exploitation of public sector information. The proposal aims at a minimum harmonisation of the rules for the re-use of public sector information in the European Union. Currently these rules vary widely throughout the Union. This hampers the development of added-value cross-border services that use this information as an input. A European framework for the re-use of public sector information will increase certainty and thus foster investment in creativity and innovation in the area of content provision and in other sectors.
