Reports and Studies about Open data

The Innovation & Networks Executive Agency (INEA) has published a new CEF Telecom brochure which presents an overview of the actions co-funded by CEF Telecom until the end of November 2020, including the status of each specific Digital Service Infrastructure (DSI) and a breakdown by country. Over the last seven years (2014-2020), 74 calls for proposals have been published awarding, so far, €308 million to 571 projects. The brochure also covers the WiFi4EU initiative which has distributed more than 8,800 vouchers between 2018 and 2020.

A group of European experts have recently discussed how to pursue the Commission’s ambition in building a common European smart communities’ data space on the European federated cloud infrastructure.

The general report gives an update on how the EU is delivering on its 10 priorities, including the Digital Single Market.

Considering the fast changing nature of the data market and the emergence of new trends, this study evaluates the performance of the PSI Directive and analyses how to make it relevant for the next 10 years. Based on the best data available, this study provides an assessment of the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and added value of the PSI Directive and builds on this to offer some policy options and perspectives for the future.

This study aimed at collecting evidence on the impacts of the Database Directive in support of the Evaluation Report on the Database Directive, published by the European Commission on the 25th of April as part of the third data package.

The Commission held a consultation on the review of Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information (PSI Directive) between June 2017 and late January 2018. This synopsis report presents the results of the consultation process and highlights the main findings gathered by the Commission.

The Evaluation Report on the Database Directive has been published on the 25th of April as part of the third data package. Within this evaluation context, the Commission carried out a public consultation between 24 May, and 30 August 2017. The aim of the consultation was to understand how the Database Directive, and in particular the sui generis protection of databases, is applied and what impact it had on users and makers. 113 replies were received (mainly from the publishing sector, the research and academic sector, the IT sector and the transport sector).

More than 30 participants attended the workshop on the study supporting the evaluation and impact assessment of the Public Sector Information re-use (PSI) Directive which took place in Brussels on the 16th of March.

The public consultation on the review of the Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information (PSI Directive) ran from 19 September to 16 December 2017. This summary report takes stock of the contributions and presents preliminary trends that emerge from them, focusing on quantitative aspects.
