EU - Commission proposes Directive on exploitation of public sector
information

The European Commission has proposed a Directive aiming to facilitate the
re-use of public sector information throughout Europe. The aim is to
lower the barriers which Europe's content companies face as they develop
a new generation of information services and products based on public
sector information. The result should decrease the gap between European
companies and their counterparts in the US, where a single set of rules
has helped stimulate a market several times larger than in the EU.
