As of 8 May 2008, all 27 Member States notified implementing measures to the Commission.
Member States have implemented the PSI Directive in different ways:
- 12 MS have adopted specific PSI re-use measures (BE, DE, GR, ES, IE, IT, CY, LU, MT, RO, SE and the UK).
- 3 MS have used a combination of new measures specifically addressing re-use and legislation predating the Directive (DK, AT, SI) and 8 MS have adapted their legislative framework for access to documents to include re-use of PSI (BG, CZ, FI, FR, LV, LT, NL, PT).
- 4 MS have notified the Commission only of measures predating the Directive, with no specific re-use provisions (EE, HU, PL, SK).
-
On 22 December 2006 the Commission took five Member States (Austria,
Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Luxembourg) to the European Court of Justice
for failure to implement the Directive on the re-use of public sector
information (PSI) on time.
Following the transposition of the Directive by all five Member States, the cases were closed. -
Currently, there are open infringement cases against, three Member States (Poland, Slovak Republic, Estonia) for failure to implement the
Directive. Click
