Presentation - section 4 Summary
PSI Re-users PSI Public Sector PSIH’s Framework PSI Re-users S4: Summary CONFIDENCE FRAMEWORK FOR THE RE-USER COST EFFECTIVE FOR THE PUBLIC SECTOR Boosts the knowledge economy www.ePSIplus.net
S4: Summary PSI Directive - the WIN WIN framework The key to success is to KEEP IT SIMPLE! www.ePSIplus.net
S4: Summary • The PSI Directive framework was established to: • minimise the burden on the public sector of enabling the re-use of public sector information to occur without resources being diverted from the public task. (apart from the establishment resource costs) • provides confidence to the potential re-user in that it provides a balance between the public sector defacto monopoly and the micro and small enterprises. • is simple and easy so that it encourages micro and small enterprises to re-use PSI. • time is of the essence • allow innovation to occur www.ePSIplus.net
S4: Summary • Implementation: • Very poor across Europe as a whole - little political or public sector commitment • Member States resource allocation low • Regulation across Europe as a whole is almost non existent • Where regulation exists decisions are not always enforced • The spirit of the PSI Directive is not evident - approach often one of denial or resistance - partly a cultural issue but also due to competition between public and private bodies with public using dominant position. • In some Member States public sector raising legal challenges over Authority of regulator • Member State competition authorities have been so far slow to react and take action • Member State Data Protection (Privacy) Information Commissioners decisions not harmonised. • Task of compliance left to the Re-user of PSI! • The value chain is complex and is not simply public sector upstream everyone else down stream. www.ePSIplus.net
S4: Summary • Transposition: • Is taking a long time and harmonisation even longer • The purpose of the Directive has been misinterpreted in some Member • States (considered to be an access law rather than an economic framework) • Member State lead bodies often do not understand their responsibility • (they see their task as a narrow one of transposition and not more) www.ePSIplus.net
S4: Summary • The ePSIplus thematic network • is devoted to the PSI vision and strategy • is people oriented! • provides a forum within which to share knowledge • acts as a catalyst to change • provides the only European PSI knowledge base currently in existence (via the web site) • - is for everyone involved in PSI irrespective of which sector the stakeholder operates within. SO PLEASE STAY INVOLVED with ePSIplus The key to success is to KEEP IT SIMPLE! www.ePSIplus.net
S4: Summary • Is the EU PSI Directive and its transposition into Icelandic law? • Entrepreneurial positive • (it encourages innovation and entry into the market) • Entrepreneurial neutral • (neither encourages or encourages innovation and entry into the market) • Entrepreneurial negative • (it discourages innovation and entry into the market) www.ePSIplus.net
