COMMUNIA responds to PSI Directive proposals
The COMMUNIA International Association submitted its second policy paper, this in reaction to the European Commission’s proposal to amend the Directive on re-use of public sector information (2003/98/EC).
COMMUNIA is supportive of the Commission’s suggested changes to the PSI Directive — most notably the decision to include cultural heritage institutions into the scope of the amended Directive. The paper draws attention to two issues where the proposal to amend the Directive should be improved. The first one recommends more consistent permissioning terms for use of public sector information that falls within the scope of the Directive and the second urges the inclusion of public domain content that is held by libraries, museums and archives.
