Law and Regulation

Topics in this theme include:

  • Status of transposition; learning from evidence of the impact of the different methods of transposition utilised and the results, with specific attention to outcomes of transposition in New Member States and federal countries.
  • Emerging synergies between and mutual effects of FOI/Access regimes and PSI re-use implementation, the Directive on environmental information etc and other ‘neighbouring’ legislation
  • Impact of the provisions and recitals of the Directive in areas such as licensing mechanisms, PSI asset discovery, transparency of pricing etc.
  • Emerging practice on public sector IPR and copyright assertion.
  • Incidence and type of disputes brought to legal resolution.
  • Handling and review of exclusive deals (including those based on contracts prior to the Directive)
  • Assessment of the requirement to extend the scope of the Directive e.g. to PSI in the culture, education and scientific research sectors.
