Description
The Greek Government will incorporate on its legislation the revised European Directive on the re-use of public sector information (PSI) until the end of December 2014.
Integration of the PSI European Directive 2013/37/EU (amending Directive 2003/98/EC) on the re-use of public sector information will make government information available for re-use, for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, in machine-readable format and under open licenses. The incorporation of the Directive will help remove the reservations frequently expressed by many public bodies on their obligation to provide information they own. This will lead to economic benefits and will contribute to the implementation of the Greek Government commitments on transparency and openness of data and information, thus enabling re-use by businesses and citizens and creation of added value products and services.
