Revised PSI Directive 2013/37/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 amending Directive 2003/98/EC on the reuse of public sector information. Main objectives:
- to stimulate the further development of a European market for services based on Public Sector Information;
- to enhance the cross-border use and application of PSI in business processes, including publishing;
- to strengthen competition in the internal market;
- to address divergence as to reuse rules between Member States. The Directive allows Member States to implement measures going beyond its minimum standards, thus allowing for more extensive reuse.
