Wijziging van de Wet hergebruik van overheidsinformatie en enkele andere wetten in verband met de implementatie van richtlijn nr. 2019/1024/EU van het Europees Parlement en de Raad van 20 juni 2019 inzake open data en het hergebruik van overheidsinformatie (Wet implementatie Open data richtlijn)

This Dutch bill amends the Wet hergebruik van overheidsinformatie (Act on the re-use of public sector information) and several other laws to implement EU Directive 2019/1024 on open data and the re-use of public sector information. The directive aims to make government data more widely available for free or at low cost so that businesses, researchers and citizens can use it to create new services and insights. The bill is being considered by the Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer). Public bodies in the Netherlands that hold government information would be affected, as would companies and individuals who reuse that data, including developers and researchers. High-value datasets would be subject to free-of-charge and machine-readable access requirements. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
