Sweden reports to EC
The European Commission has reported that Sweden has formally notified the Commission on the actions that the Swedish government is taking in response to the infringement process initiated by the Commission on the 16th October 2008.
The 2008 announcement stated:
“The Commission has also launched infringement proceedings against Sweden because a number of crucial provisions of the PSI Directive have not been, or have been incorrectly, transposed into national law. These mainly relate to charging, nondiscrimination, prohibition of exclusive arrangements, processing of requests to reuse public sector information and the formats in which it should be made available.”
The December 2009 announcement states:
“The Swedish authorities sent to the Commission the official report with the proposed Swedish legislation transposing Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of Public Sector Information, which was sent out to the stakeholders for a formal consultation during Fall 2009 as a step in the Swedish legislative process, and confirmed that in spite of some delay during the Summer break, they still expect the new legislation to enter into force on 1 July 2010, as planned and reported to the Commission. The Commission participated in the seminar Stimulating PSI re-use: European Progress organised by the ePSIPlatform in Stockholm on 24 November 2009, where the Swedish PSI bill was also commented and the calendar for adoption confirmed.”
