The amendments of Directive 2003/98/EC for the of re-use public sector information (PSI Directive) have been approved :
On June 13th the European Parliament approved the proposal to update the previous regulations on the re-use of Public Sector Information(which dates back to2003).
(http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=TA&reference=P7-TA-2013-0275&language=IT&ring=A7-2012-0404).
According to the new rules the public information - except those subjected to specific limitations (for example, because relating to State security matters) - will be accessible online and
private companies will be able to use them to offer new services and applications.
The new directive will change the approach of the public administrations , affecting the reluctance of the people
to share information. Companies will have access to public data for free or at very low costs.
