On June 2019 the European legislator approved directive No. 2019/1024, a recast of directive No. 2003/98/EC, on the re-use of public sector information (so-called “PSI Directive”), which will come into force in 2021. The new directive holds a popular name “on open data and the re-use of public sector information” (so-called “Open Data Directive”). One of the traditional areas of conflict surrounding PSI and Open Data is the protection of personal data.
