The European Union Lisbon Strategy
In March 2000 at the Lisbon summit the EU Heads of State and Government set a goal for the EU over the next decade to become:
The most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. (by March 2010!)

EU Public Sector Information Directive
Directive 2003/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the re-use of public sector information. (Published in the Official Journal of the European Union L345 31.12.2003 (Pages 90 to 96))
The PSI Directive is a legal instrument (at the macro economic level) which has the objective of stimulating the internal market by introducing a general framework for the conditions governing the re-use of public sector documents.

EU PSI Directive - key aspects
The Directive will bring benefit in the following areas:
Improve Data sharing within the public sector;
Ease the burden on the private sector, research sector and the citizen in finding and using data;
Will improve the quality of data through secondary use which will benefit the primary data user. I.e. public sector;
Will trigger a cultural change and as a result lead to more efficient Government by less administration, fewer legal challenges;
Reduced costs in data production and maintenance without impact on quality.

eGovernment within the EU
eGovernment is a sizeable market.
• In 2003 the EU15 public sector spent €69 billion on ICT. (rising to €73 billon in 2004)
• The ICT spend on eGovernment is growing rapidly at 15% p.a.
Note: The spend on ICT is only a fraction of the total spending on eGovernment, since there is a significant accompanying investment in (re‑)organisation and training. Research of private companies indicates the spend is ten times that spent on ICT. (potential market value €300 billion)

In conclusion
• 2004 is a year of change.
• There are many EU Directives, communications, initiatives and projects.
• The impact of these upon geographic information is huge!
• The European GI community is finite!
• Therefore there is a need to focus.
• Suggest the key areas are:– The implementation of the PSI Directive.
– Building upon our collective achievements and strengths.
– Concentrate on GI capacity building projects.
