Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) A document should be considered as a document in a machine readable format if it is in a file format that is structured in such a way that software applications can easily identify, recognise and extract data of interest from it. Data encoded in files that are structured in a machine-readable format are machine-readable data. Machine-readable formats can exist as formal open standards or not. Documents encoded in a file format that limits such automatic processing, because the data cannot or cannot easily be extracted from these documents, should not be considered as documents in machine- readable format. Member States should when appropriate encourage the use of open, machine-readable formats.

(15a) Documents and works, including audio and audiovisual productions, produced by public service broadcasters and other bodies or their subsidiaries for the fulfilment of a public service broadcasting remit should as a principle be re-usable. The possibility of accessing and re-using such publicly funded documents would be particularly beneficial to stimulate production of derivative creative content and would allow a future lifecycle for works that are held in public broadcasters' archives.
