New EU strategic context

Digital agenda for Europe

-Strategy for intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth in Europe.

-Achieving high levels of employment, moving towards a low carbon economy, increasing social cohesion and productivity through concrete actions on a State-wide or Community-wide scale.

-In 1 of the 7 emblematic initiatives for Europe 2020, ICTs play a very important role in achieving the 2020 objectives.

-Action 3: Opening up public data resources so they can be reused.

-In addition to the economic value, it is worth pointing out more democratic merits such as promoting transparency and ensuring public authorities can be held to account for their actions.

New European legal framework

- On 26th June 2013, the European Parliament approved Directive 2013/37/EU of the European Parliament and the Council (Consolidated Version) which amended Directive 2003/98/EC on the reuse of information in the public sector. It was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 27 June.

-Member states have 2 years to convey the measure into their judicial framework.

Changes

Within the pertinent ambit (museums, libraries and archives), conditions (standard and open formats, licences without conditions), fees (charges can be made if they are proportional), exclusivity limits, supervision (a report every 3 years) and assessment (harmonisation guides) of the European Commission.

Catalonia Legal framework

Within the Generalitat of Catalonia this applies to:

-Legal Notice (Licence) which authorises the reuse of all the contents of Gencat.cat.

-Inventory of all the data. Each department (ministry) draws up an inventory or catalogue of all their data and appoints a person responsible for the reuse of, or open access to, data.

-Openly accessible images and videos. The Generalitat has opened access to images and videos as if they were data (source, not authorship).

-Linking reuse policies to transparency policies. The Generalitat‘s transparency website also offers data in an open format (see some examples).

12DGACD ‘Open Data policy in Catalonia’. Flemish Public Governance Department. Brussels, September 2013 CC – BY 3.0

Catalonia Pending features

These include the following:

-Fees. At the moment, there are none. However, these might be established, in line with the Directive, but would be limited to the cost of return on investment or to getting back production costs.

-Impartial authority. The Spanish state will need to decide who this is.

-Governance in the Spanish state.

How will the reports for the European Commission be prepared?
