6. Neelie on Open Data “ I believe governments should embrace open data .” 5 April 2011 “ My ideal of eGovernment puts the citizen at the centre always […] One example is the re-use of public sector information . We know its potential but still our organisations are dragging their feet. I say yes to open data! ” 8 October 2010 http://bit.ly/NeelieKroesEU , @ NeelieKroesEU

7. But why? Simple reason “ We are here to serve citizens, and to make the best use of their money. To achieve that, what could be better than handing them back the data already gathered on their behalf, to use and develop as they see fit. ” Open Data Challenge Awards, 16 June 2011 Also see Neelie’s blog post on open data (13 May 2011). http://bit.ly/NeelieKroesEU , @ NeelieKroesEU
