The Common European Data Spaces are a concept introduced by the Commission’s 2020 Data Strategy. They can be defined as a mix of data infrastructure, data governance rules and community building whose aim is to enhance data sharing within economic sectors in the EU. The governance layer of the Data Spaces will benefit from legislation currently under preparation (Regulation on European Data Governance) while financial support to the creation of data spaces in e.g. mobility, health or agricultural sectors will be provided by the Digital Europe Programme.

Public sector bodies include the state, regional or local authorities and bodies governed by public law whereas public undertakings can be characterised as publicly controlled companies providing services in utility sectors (legal definitions in Art. 2 of the Directive).

The expected impact of ITS Directive and related delegated acts on the availability of data in the transport field should exceed that of a hypothetical inclusion in the list of High Value Datasets because the application of ITS Directive 2010/40/EU is not limited to data held by public sector bodies and public undertakings.

As suggested by Recital 16 of the Open Data Directive.

(66)

See: Socio-legal Barriers to Data Reuse, National Library of Medicine, 2019, https://nlmdirector.nlm.nih.gov/2019/06/11/socio-legal-barriers-to-data-reuse or LAPSI License Interoperability Report, 2013, https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/lapsi-license-interoperability-report

(67)

Not least because the adoption of CC or CC-compatible licences will allow for the seamless merging of European Commission’s and Member States’ data into EU wide data services and products.

(68)

The practice of charging is often linked to the funding mechanism in which public sector bodies are not fully financed by the budget.

(69)

The Directive even allows for specific HVDs held by public undertaking sto be charged for in caes where their free availability would lead to a distortion of competition in the relevant markets.

(70)

The recast Directive makes it clear that any application of charges beyond marginal costs can only happen in exceptional cases (Recital 36) and under strict transparency requirements.

(71)

As evidenced in the Support Study.

According to the evaluation report SWD 2018 145: ‘In the studies where specific types of data were analysed (e.g. meteorological, geographic and hydrographical data), it emerged that there is high price elasticity in these domains, that is to say that re-users are very sensitive and reactive to price’.

The charging exception may however become relevant in a case of future extension of the thematic range of the High Value Datasets via a delegated act, as foreseen in the Open Data Directive.

(101)

Such as Creative Commons BY or Creative Commons 0, which allow for an unrestricted re-use, including for commercial purposes.

(104)

Apart from the case of financial reports whose formats are defined by EU ESEF Regulation 2019/815.

(105)

For the sake of completeness, it should also be noted that the process for the adoption of the Act has also been pre-defined. The proposed list of high value datasets will have to be accepted by the Member States, by way of an examination procedure.

(106)

The Evaluation Report of the PSI Directive (SWD(2018) 145 final) when discussing its effectiveness, noted already that ‘an additional area of improvement would be to provide high value datasets published with common more harmonised data models in the same level of granularity or scale in each Member State’.

(107)

Article 14(1) of the Open Data Directive.

(108)

As shown in the annual Open Data Maturity Studies conducted by the European Data Portal.

(109)

Data landscape, The European Data Market Monitoring Tool see: http://datalandscape.eu/european-data-market-monitoring-tool-2018

(110)

The room for manoeuvre is quite restricted for the ‘mobility’ domain. Article 14(2) of the Directive calls on the Commission to ensure complementarity with existing legal acts, such as Directive 2010/40/EU ITS Directive). This is due to the fact that the said Directive (accompanied by a series of delegated regulations) mandates the opening up of a wide scope of static and dynamic mobility data held by both public and private entities – thus exceeding the minimum level of harmonisation in the Open Data Directive. Accordingly, the Impact Assessment takes into account the data which are not in scope of the ITS Directive and its delegated regulations.

(111)

The Directive gives the possibility to the Commission to also consider data held by public undertakings in several utility sectors for the purpose of identifying High Value Datasets. Given the thematic scope of the exercise, the intended objectives, the expected costs involved and the need to respect relevant sectoral law (notably the ITS Directive that covers also public undertakings) as well as clearly negative feedback from the public undertakings in the course of stakeholder consultations, no objective reasons were found to include public undertakings’ data in the scope at this stage.

(112)

See: Annex II.

(113)

For full explanation of the methodology, see Annex 4.

(114)

It should be noted that the intensitites of intervention are designed and then assessed independently and separately theme by theme. It is only after the impacts of the policy options in each theme are assessed that the choice of the most appropriate policy package for the entire instrument can be made in Chapter 8.

(115)

Maps are not included as self standing datasets, since they can be obtained by layering multiple High Value datasets (e.g. Administrative Units + Place Names + Road and Rail transport networks).

     It must be noted, however, that this total governmental revenue includes – as defined in the European System of Accounts 2010 – also the market output, output for own final use and payments for non-market production. As this definition is a rather broad concept and as the macroeconomic effect of the introduction of the Policy Packages depends on a lot yet unknown factors, market output, output for own final use and payments for non-market production cannot be predicted as precisely as the other variables of governmental revenues. Excluding the categories mentioned, the adjusted governmental revenues would lower to approximately 38% of GDP according to OECD estimates.
