The European Commission 5th Ministerial eGovernment Conference:
(Malmö, Sweden on the 18th November 2009)
The importance of the re-use of PSI was endorsed and re-iterated. (Almost 10
years since the March 2000, Lisbon Treaty)
Under paragraph 11 of the Declaration, public administrations should
therefore:
“Increase availability of public sector information for re-use. We will
increase availability of public sector information for reuse, in accordance with the
spirit of and the conditions established by Public Sector Information Directive
2003/98/EC. We will encourage the reuse of public data by third parties to
develop enriched services that maximise the value for the public. New demand-
led information products and services enabled by the reuse of public sector
information will support the transition of Europe to a knowledge-based
economy.”
