Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information, known as the PSI Directive, now called the Open Data Directive, is an EU directive that stipulates minimum requirements for EU member states regarding making public sector information available for re-use. This directive provides a common legislative framework for this area. The Directive is an attempt to remove barriers that hinder the re-use of public sector information throughout the Union.
The PSI Directive was amended again in 2019, becoming the Open Data Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1024 on open data and the re-use of public sector information), which entered into force on 16 July 2019. It consisted of a revision of the public sector information directive from 2003, which was already previously amended by the directive 2013/37/EU. Member states had until 16 July 2021 to transpose the new directive into national law.
