The European Commission's MEPSIR Report (Measuring European Public Sector Resources) , June 2006

(detailed results for sub domains and individual countries)

The MEPSIR study was commissioned and awarded by the European Commission (DG INFSO) in the context of the implementation of the PSI directive. The study defines, tests and applies a methodology to measure the re-use of PSI in the EU member states and Norway, serving as a first measurement for the review of the Directive that will take place three years after its implementation. It is expected that a second measurement on PSI re-use will be carried out in 2008. Following these measurements, conclusions will be drawn and recommendations proposed, also on the basis of a comparison with the situation in the United States of America.

The study was made for the Commission by the HELM Group of Companies (UK) and Zenc (NL).
