8: Public Sector Information
Unleash the empowering potential of easy to use Public Sector Information Other Information:
Transparency and the availability of all Public Sector Information (PSI) for re-use in machine-readable format should be the
standard default position. This is already happening for commercial purposes but should now also be extended to re-use by
citizens and the civil sector for public policy or other legitimate purposes. Provide public access to machine-readable datasets,
normally in aggregated form so that individuals cannot be identified. Respect commercial, private and citizen data and identities
according to legal requirements and existing regulations. Ensure that European officials and political representatives retain
a confidential space for discussion and advice at the earliest stages of pre-agenda setting thereby not undermining creative
and new thinking, but ensure that discussion and advice which specifically form the basis for agenda-setting or policy proposals
are made transparent.
