19. Change in the directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use
of public sector information (Richtlijn
2013/37/EU)
Article 2, Definition 4
"re-use" means the use by persons or legal
entities of documents held by public sector
bodies, for commercial or non-commercial
purposes other than the initial purpose within
the public task for which the documents were
produced. Exchange of documents between
public sector bodies purely in pursuit of their
public tasks does not constitute re-use;
Archives are also included this directive
Europe
“„hergebruik”, het gebruik
door natuurlijke personen of
rechtspersonen van
documenten die in het bezit
zijn van openbare lichamen
voor andere commerciële of
niet-commerciële doeleinden
dan het oorspronkelijk doel
binnen de publieke taak
waarvoor de documenten zijn
geproduceerd.
