Two weeks ago we reported that a Spanish study was released by the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade, on the PSI re-use in the Spanish infomediary sector. Meanwhile the full report has been translated into English and is now available to you.

The study was conducted between March and May of 2011 and concluded that the infomediary sector in Spain generates 550 to 650 million Euros turnover annually, directly related to PSI re-use. This constitutes 35%-40% percent of their total turnover. Between 5000 and 5500 employees are directly assigned to activities related to PSI re-use in the surveyed 230 companies.

The report can be downloaded in various formats, in Spanish and in English at the Aporta.es website. Also the data set of the survey is available for download.

Below is a recent presentation (in Spanish) on PSI re-use in Spain (which also mentions the findings of the report):
