Digital Agenda & Open Access“[…] publicly funded research should be widely disseminated through Open Access publication of scientific data and papers”“[…] the Commission will appropriately extend current Open Access publication requirements […]” A Digital Agenda for Europe (COM(2010)245, 19.05.2010),http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52010DC0245(01):EN:NOT

Innovation Union & Open Access“ [...] the Commission will propose a European Research Area framework and […]seek to ensure […] dissemination [...] of research results, including through open access to publications and dataCommission willfunded research”.“ The from publicly promoteopen access to the results ofpublicly funded research. Itwill aim to make open access topublications the generalprinciple for projects fundedby the EU research FrameworkProgrammes […]” Innovation Union (COM(2010)546, 06.10.2010), http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52010DC0546:EN:NOT

Strong political support “ Access to scientific results for free, for all, for ever is a compelling vision indeed.”“ The question is no longer ‘if’ we should have open access. The question is about ‘how’ we should develop it further and promote it.”“ Scientific information has the power to transform our lives for the better – it is too valuable to be locked away.”

Communication & Recommendation on Scientific Information„ [The Commission] will work with Member States to step up their activities to provide open access to scientific information [...]. In parallel, the Commission will detail how it will deal with the results of research funded by the Indications for Open Access in Horizon 2020 European Union.” Commission Open Data Strategy 2011 (COM(2011)882, p. 9 Recommendation for Member State actions Likely Adoption: Q3/2012
