Public Consultation document and accompanying Partial Regulatory Impact Assessment (247 Kb)

The European Commission published a Directive on the re-use and commercial exploitation of public sector information on 1st January 2004, which set out a minimum level of harmonisation of the rules and administration across the European Union.

In September 2003, the Department of Trade and Industry and Her Majesty’s Stationery Office published a consultation paper on the implementation of the   Directive on the re-use of public sector information.   The consultation document was made widely available on web and sent to a number of key players in both the private and public sectors.  There were also a series of meetings and discussions with key players in the private and public sectors that assisted the consultation process.  The consultation period closed on 4 December 2003.  
There were 27 responses to the consultation paper. The summary of the responses to the consultation is now available, see directly below.
