Study to support the review of Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information : final report

The 2003 Directive on Re-Use of Public Sector Information (PSI Directive) contributed to change Public Sector Bodies' approach towards data, making them more open and re-usable. Further modifications in the Directive in 2013 also helped public authorities to become key players in the rising data economy. Today, considering the fast changing nature of the data market and the emergence of new trends, there is a new need of evaluating the performance of the PSI Directive and analysing how to make it relevant for the next 10 years. Based on the best data available, this study provides an assessment of the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and added value of the PSI Directive and builds on this to offer some policy options and perspectives for the future.
