Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) A document is considered a document in a machine-readable format if it is a digital document in a file format which allows software applications to easily identify, recognise and extract data from it. Documents encoded in files limiting in any way such processing, or determining a specific technology needed for this processing, shall not be considered as documents in machine- readable formats. Member States shall ensure the use of open machine-readable formats, with the exception of data where use of open formats would be unjustifiable due to technological or economical reasons. Every usage of non- open machine-readable data format should be justified and the technical description of the format used should be provided.

Recital 11 b (new)
(11b) ‘open’ means that the format’s specification is maintained by a not-for- profit organisation; its ongoing development occurs on the basis of an open decision-making procedure available to all interested parties; the format specification document is available freely; the intellectual property of the standard is made irrevocably available on a royalty- free basis.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
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, preferably limiting them to the indication of source. Open licences available online, which grant wider re-use rights without technological, financial or geographical limitations and relying on open data formats, may also play an important role in this respect. Therefore, Member States should encourage the use of open government licences.
