Facts from 2008 • Directive fully transposed – infringements launched • PSI re-use increasing (MICUS, GFII) • Substitution of PSI • Cambridge study: marginal costs recommend. • New applications, explosion of web 2.0/ user created content - showmetheway • New sharing of information initiatives: OA, SEIS, Wikis, …

  4. Barriers - Stakeholders Consultation • Reusers claim that they still face many problems when trying to re-use PSI as: • PSI is not available for re-use • PSI difficult to find • Charges are too high and not justified • Restrictive licensing agreements • Public task concerns • Limited awareness/co-operation from PSI Holders • No official redress mechanisms PSI re-use potential largely unmet

  5. Stakeholders Consultation • Reusers “wish list” : • Make PSI re-use compulsory • Marginal Cost Pricing • Enlarge Scope • Independent Regulators (inc. redress mechanisms) • Address/limit public task PSI Holders • IARs/ PSI Portals • Clarifications ( Reasonable rate of return, document, re-use, etc)

  6. Key role of Member States Ensure correct implementation and application of PSI Directive (e.g. monitor exclusive deals) Deployment measures that facilitate re-use Can go beyond the directive (SLOV) Establishment of bodies responsible for PSI (UK OPSI) Asset lists, web portals Charging (marginal costs) Non discrimination Conflict resolution mechanisms/Watchdog of PSCH Cooperation with private sector ••• 6
