Summary: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 revising Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information (the PSI Directive). Further information: Directive 2003/98/EC (the PSI Directive) aimed to facilitate the re-use of PSI throughout the European Union (EU) by harmonising the basic conditions for re-use and removing major barriers to re-use in the internal market. It introduced provisions on non-discrimination, charging, exclusive arrangements, transparency, licensing and practical tools to facilitate the discovery and re-use of public sector information. Article 13 of the Directive called on the European Commission to carry out a review of its application and to communicate the results, together with any proposal for amendments, before July 2018. The review was carried out by the Commission and resulted in the publication of an evaluation report. The report found that the Directive still contributed to the achievement of its main policy objectives, but a number of issues were detected affecting the full exploitation of the potential of public sector information for the European economy and society. The new Directive aims to address the above issues regarding the field of data management and use. The Commission adopted the proposal on 25 April 2018. The Council of the European Union and the European Parliament reached an informal agreement on 22 January 2019 regarding a compromise text for the proposal. The Parliament formally endorsed it on 4 April, followed by the Council on 6 June. |
