Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) In relation to any re-use that is made of the document, public sector bodies may, where practicable, impose conditions on the re-user, such as acknowledgment of source. Any licences for the re-use of public sector information should in any case place as few restrictions on re-use as possible. Open licences available online, which grant wider re-use rights without technological, financial or geographical limitations and relying on open data formats, mayshould also play an important role in this respect. Therefore, Member States should encourage the use of open government licences and licensing of PSI metadata should follow licensing standards as established by e.g. Europeana.

2003/98/EC
Article 4 – new paragraph
Before a public sector body can make personal data available for reuse, it must undertake an assessment in order to decide whether the data involved can be made available for reuse. This assessment should also establish under what conditions and subject to what specific data protection safeguards reuse is permissible. This assessment must ensure that there is an adequate legal basis for the transfer and reuse of data under national law, that the reuse is available only for a compatible purpose and that applicants and subsequent users are required to comply with all other provisions of applicable data protection law
