Public-Data Opportunity: Why Governments Should Share More

As Europe grapples with citizens’ demands for better, more targeted public services, the Lisbon Council launches The Public-Data Opportunity: Why Governments Should Share More, a discussion paper that looks at the state of play for public-sector data sharing – and calls for better protocols and procedures to deliver more data-driven public services to all Europeans. The discussion paper analyses the importance of data-sharing between European Union public agencies, identifies the barriers and proposes seven policy recommendations that will help lift them.
