OPEN DATA: 
POLICY AND OPPORTUNITIES 
SOME 
GROUNDS
DIGITAL AGENDA FOR 
EUROPE 
Pillar 1. Digital Single Market 
Action 3: Open up public data resources for re-use 
Why? 
• Public Sector Information is one of the single largest 
sources of information in Europe. 
• Estimated market value is €32 billion 
One of the objectives: Amendment of Directive 2003/98/EC on 
Public Sector Information (PSI) Reuse (Directive 2013/37/EU)
DIRECTIVE ON THE 
RE-USE OF PSI 
Encourages the Member 
States to make as much 
information held by public 
sector bodies available for 
reuse as possible 
http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/european-legislation-reuse-public-sector-information 
Directive 2003/98/EC
REVISION OF THE PSI 
DIRECTIVE (2013/37/EU) 
Creation of a genuine right to re-use public 
information: all generally accessible information will 
become re-usable (even for commercial purposes) 
Only some public bodies are excluded 
Firstly, national rules may exclude access to 
sensitive information (e.g., personal information, national security, 
defence, public security, statistical and commercial confidentiality) 
To be transposed into national laws by July 2015

POLICY AND OPPORTUNITIES 
ACTIONS
ACTION 3: OPEN UP 
PUBLIC DATA 
Ongoing Actions: 
• Awareness-raising and promotional activities 
• Networking across Europe to further stimulation (ePSI 
Platform, Member States, PSI Alliance, industrial associations, developers and open 
data communities) 
• Bilateral and multilateral discussions with the MSs 
• Set of guidelines on Open Data and the re-use of PSI

emission levels, etc.) 
Transport data Public transport timetables (all modes of transport)
