Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] And we are promoting openness elsewhere: like in public sector information. This is a chance to make public administrations more transparent, give our people great new data-powered products and services, and stimulate a single market worth tens of billions of euros. I'm pleased that the legislation is making good progress, and I would like to thank Mr Kalfin the rapporteur, and others. And I hope we can find an ambitious agreement before the end of the Irish Presidency – so everyone, including small businesses, can easily and cheaply use and re-use public data, generating value again and again, across the single market.
