… for failing to transpose EU rules on open data and the re-use of public sector data into national law.
Directive EU 2019/1024, referred to as the Open Data Directive
By providing common rules for a European market for government-held data, it will reduce barriers to market entry for SMEs through reduced costs for data re-use, make more data available and increase business opportunities through data sharing via application programming interfaces (APIs). The Directive stimulates the development of innovative solutions such as mobility apps, increases transparency by opening the access to publicly funded research data, and thereby supports new technologies, including artificial intelligence. The Directive is the result of the revision of the earlier Public Sector Information Directive, which had been in force since 2003.
