Under the Open Data Directive regime, the re-use permissions only apply to data or documents that the public sector body already has available to it, it doesn’t constitute a requirement on the public sector body to generate new data. Under the new proposal, as I read it, a very large enterprise could pay a public sector body to generate new data, and to access that data under different (including more favourable) conditions than the general public. Nice catch - and, thinking of some NL cases, that is far theoretical -- I can think of some existing examples around property, land use and forced relocation. Dw |
