ePSIplus Conference: ‘PSI Re-use – Who Takes Action Next?'

13 June 2008 (Brussels, Belgium)

The Conference provided a one day forum intended to 'stimulate dialogue about' and 'an opportunity for input' to the 'ePSIplus draft Recommendations and Supporting Evidence'.

Access the ePSIplus Network’s FINAL Recommendations and Supporting Evidence (11 October 2008) to the EC’s 2008 Review of the PSI Directive on PSI Re-use. These recommendations were the focus of Conference discussions and this final version was submitted to the European Commission's Review.

Comments and feedback about the ePSIplus recommendations are welcome and can be directed to Rob Davies, ePSIplus Network Co-ordinator (rob.davies@ePSIplus.net).

Read about the European Commission's consultation on the impact of the Directive 2003/98/EC.

Read the European Commission's press release about the consultation (26 June 2008), "Information from the Public Sector now easier to re-use in all Member States. Easy enough? asks Commission in a new public consultation"
