In an open letter to the European Parliament concerning the proposed Regulation amending the Open Data Directive (part of a legislative package known as the ‘Digital Omnibus’), EIFL called on Members to reject the introduction of actor-specific licences for the re-use of public sector data and documents (Article 32r(4)), and to strengthen the requirement to use open licences as standard (Article 32r(3)). Concerns about companies with outsized market power unfairly exploiting open government and public sector data can be addressed through differential charging mechanisms that are set out in detail in Article 32q(6) of the proposed Regulation.
