Barriers - Stakeholders Consultation
• Reusers claim that they still face many problems when trying to re-use PSI as:
– PSI is not available for re-use– PSI difficult to find – Charges are too high and not justified– Restrictive licensing agreements– Public task concerns– Limited awareness/co-operation from PSI
Holders– No official redress mechanisms
PSI re-use potential largely unmet

Stakeholders Consultation
• Reusers “wish list” :
– Make PSI re-use compulsory– Marginal Cost Pricing– Enlarge Scope– Independent Regulators (inc. redress
mechanisms)– Address/limit public task PSI Holders– IARs/ PSI Portals– Clarifications ( Reasonable rate of return,
document, re-use, etc)

Key role of Member States
• Ensure correct implementation and application of PSI Directive (e.g. monitor exclusive deals)
• Deployment measures that facilitate re-use– Can go beyond the directive (SLOV)– Establishment of bodies responsible for PSI (UK
OPSI)– Asset lists, web portals– Charging (marginal costs)– Non discrimination– Conflict resolution mechanisms/Watchdog of
PSCH– Cooperation with private sector

What can reusers do?
• Make re-use a reality• Raise awareness - political interest
– huge/missed business opportunities
• Show that market demand is there• Explicit new rights for re-users
=> fight for them, challenge unfair practices, exploit current regulations
