(28) In order to get access to the data opened for re-use by this Directive, the use of suitable and well-designed Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) is needed. An API describes the kind of data can be retrieved, how to do this and the format in which the data will be received. It has different levels of complexity and can mean a simple link to a database to retrieve specific datasets, a web interface, or more complex set-ups. There is general value in re-using and sharing data via a suitable use of APIs as this will help developers and start-ups to create new services and products. It is also a crucial ingredient of creating valuable ecosystems around data assets that are often unused. The set-up and use of API needs to be based on several principles: stability, maintenance over lifecycle, uniformity of use and standards, user-friendliness as well as security. For dynamic data, meaning frequently updated data, often in real time, public sector bodies and public undertakings shall make this available for re-use immediately after collection by ways of suitable APIs.

(58) In order to set in place conditions supporting the re-use of documents which is associated with important socio- economic benefits having a particular high value for economy and society, the power to adopt implementing acts in accordance with Article 2901 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the adoption of a list of high-value datasets among the documents to which this Directive applies, along with the modalities of their publication and re-use. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts.

(59) An EU-wide list of datasets with a particular potential to generate socio- economic benefits together with harmonised re-use conditions constitutes an important enabler of cross-border data applications and services. InFor the process leading to the establishment of the list, the Commission shoulurpose of adopting delegated acts, the Commission shall conduct appropriate public consultations. All interested parties, including competent bodies holding public sector information, users and re-users, applicants for the use and re-use and representative organisations, shall have the possibility to submit proposals for additional data-sets to the Commission. The Commission takes these into account, or provides the interested cparrty out appropriate consultations, including at expert level. The list should take into accountconcerned with reasons for rejecting the suggestion. In the course of preparation co- determination rights as well as the financial and personal resources to effectively make use of those rights are granted to the European social partners. The list should take into account the protection of critical infrastructures as well as sectoral legislation that already regulates the publication of datasets, as well as the categories indicated in the Technical Annex of the G8 Open Data Charter and in the Commission's Notice 2014 /C 240/01.
