Still 50+ shades of no
List of reasons why not to open data
Various authors (Gutteridge, Suijkerbuijk, Zijlstra…)
http://philarcher.org/diary/2015/50shadesofno/
Many of them based on fear…
Quality of the data, misuse, …
… even when the data is already published
PDFs, websites, brochures …

On the bright side
Licenses
“Comply or explain” becomes popular across govs
Push for Creative Commons Zero
Linked Open Data on the rise
… especially for reuse by administrations
Natural fit in a federal state with regions / communities
