Prawo do ponownego wykorzystania informacji publicznej. Uwagi na tle transpozycji dyrektywy 2003/98/WE z 17 listopada 2003 r. w sprawie ponownego wykorzystania informacji sektora publicznego

The purpose of this paper is to show implementation of EU directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information to the Polish law. The right to re-use is passed over on even broader discussion so there is a need to undertake that issue. In accordance to the EU directive 2003/98/EC, re-use of public sector information means the use by persons or legal entities of documents held by public sector bodies, for commercial or non-commercial purposes other than the initial purpose within the public task for which the documents were produced. The definition in Polish Access to the Public Information Act is not precise and cause problems in interpretation. Too broad approach to set up the conditions for re-use of public information can cause excessive stringency in activities of administrative bodies and as a result undermine the effectiveness of new law as well as well as other limitations not required by the directive. There are also serious doubts regarding calculation of fees for re-use. Generally the whole implementation seems to be not fully thought out and coherent.
