•Governments should support full, open
and unrestricted international access to scientific data for
public interest purposes -- particularly statistical, scientific,
geographical, environmental, and meteorological information of great
public benefit. Such efforts to improve the exploitation of public
sector information contribute significantly to maximizing its
commercial, scientific, research and environmental value.
•Governments should let the private
sector lead in using public sector information to meet the diverse
needs of citizens and users for such products and services.
Meeting these needs demands entrepreneurial and publishing skills
that are most evident in the private sector. Market needs are best
served by open and unrestricted access to public sector
information.
