La Commissione Europea commenta la posizione del Consiglio su INSPIRE
http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/proposal/communication_inspire.pdf

The Commission cannot accept the common position with regard to a number of
> issues. The most important of these issues include the following:
>
> - The Commission does not agree that intellectual property rights held by
> public
> authorities should be among the list of grounds for limiting public access
> to spatial
> data.
>
> - The Commission also does not agree that the possibility of limiting
> access should be
> extended to cover discovery services referred to in Article 18(1)(a) of
> the
> Commission proposal, since this would mean that the public would not even
> be able
> to learn of the existence of the data.
>
> - The Commission maintains that the view services referred to in Article
> 18(1)(b) of
> the Commission proposal should be made available free of charge, and
> cannot accept
> the Council position allowing public authorities to charge and license for
> these
> services under certain conditions;
>
> The common position makes the obligation to avoid obstacles to data
> sharing, as well
> as the rules for ensuring harmonised conditions for Community institutions
> and
> bodies, subordinate to the right of public data providers to charge and
> license other
> authorities for their data. It is also vague about the obstacles to be
> avoided. It will
> therefore be ineffective in achieving one of the key aims of the proposal,
> and could
> even have the effect of increasing obstacles to the sharing of data.
>
> Finally, while the Commission agrees that the provisions relating to data
> sharing do
> not affect the existence or ownership of public authorities' intellectual
> property
> rights, it does not see the need for this to be stated in the text of the
> directive. If such
> a provision is to be included, it should be made equally clear that these
> rights must be
> exercised in accordance with the other provisions.
