European Union's PSI Directive

The EU's PSI Directive establishes rules for the reuse of public sector information (PSI), meaning data produced or collected by government bodies. Its goal is to improve access to and sharing of public data across member countries, supporting innovation, transparency, and economic growth. The directive sets procedures for granting access, licensing, and charging fees, ensuring that public data can be reused fairly and efficiently by businesses, researchers, and the public, while protecting sensitive information. Overall, it promotes a more open and interoperable digital environment within the European Union.
