The Potential of European Public Sector Information
by PIRA International
•The US public sector information market place is up to five times the size of the EU market.
•Charging for public sector information may be counter-productive, even from the short term perspective of raising direct revenue for government agencies.
•The fledgling EU market would not even have to double in size for governments to more than recoup in extra tax receipts what they would lose by ceasing to charge for public sector information.
