The UK government has come under further pressure to appoint a 'minister for public sector knowledge' over concerns that its information policy lacks high-level support, leadership and proper coherence.

The call comes from within Whitehall itself - from the Cabinet Office's Advisory Panel on Public Sector Information.

The APPSI has encouraged a minister to come forward to take 'explicit responsibility for the proactive management of knowledge within the public sector.'

The body says that with ministerial influence and support, the public sector can maximise the potential value of its information assets. According to the APPSI, the need is pressing following a relatively disappointing year of progress on public sector information (PSI) re-use - despite this being a key to the government's ambitions to make the UK a world-leading knowledge economy.

Publishing its annual report on 5 August, it noted a degree of progress in joining up government policy and resolving 'conflicts' in departments' policies towards PSI.

'For example,' it says, 'the Treasury's inclination to leverage PSTI as a source of revenue or as a way of cutting costs often sat uncomfortably with the Cabinet Office's aspiration, as we saw it, of promoting the re-use of PSI to enhance the knowledge economy and the quality and range of government services.'

While praising co-ordinating efforts by the newly-formed Office of Public Sector Information, the APPSI said that some 'significant tensions' still needed to be addressed. It concluded: 'Much remains to be done.'

The present situation, it observed, 'still falls short of the single cost-efficient, coherent long-term policy and strategy that we recommended last year.'

The APPSI advises that a working party be set up on this issue and recommends further research into the economics behind PSI.

Another key concern is poor awareness about the importance of public sector information (PSI) re-use, which the APPSI said remains a 'major challenge' to overcome.

The Act on the Access to Information of Public Character in Slovenia was amended in May 2005. By this means, the Slovenian Parliament adopted a new law that transposes the EU Directive on PSI reuse into Slovenian law on 15 June 2005.

France and the United Kingdom are the first countries to transpose the PSI directive into their national law.

The council of the ministers in France has adopted the ordnance that will implement the PSI directive in France on June 6th 2005. It will be tabled for formal adoption by the French parliament.

A public consultation on the implementation within the UK of the European Directive on the re-use of public sector information was opened on 22 December 2004, and will run until 18 March 2005. The policy responsibility is shared by the Cabinet Office through the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI), incorporating Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO), and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). The Consultation includes the following documents:

the Consultation document
the Consultation notice
the draft Public Sector Information (PSI) Regulations
an Explanatory Note on the PSI Regulations
a revised Partial Regulatory Impact Assessment
a draft Guide to Best Practice that aims to explain the effects of the PSI Regulations
a Question and Answer document about the PSI Regulations and the Directive

Fruther information on the consulation can be found at:http://www.hmso.gov.uk/psi/eudpsi-consultations.htm

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for policy makers, public content providers, re-users and international experts to discuss the prospects for adding value through commercial exploitation of public sector information. The conference will also act as a progress check on the early implementation of the European Directive on PSI re-use, published late in 2003, and discuss the future agenda.

As European elections results show, there will not be real change to the balance of power in the newly elected house. Provisional division of mandates gives majority of places to centre right EPP-ED group of about 269 out of 732 MEP's. The Social Democrats (PES) will get probably 201 seats with French and Spanish as leading delegations, which will place them on the second position in the EP. The European liberals ELDR will have 63 places and Greens/EFA group ended up better than expected with 42 MEP's mandates. The leftist GUE and European Democracies and Diversities EDD got consequently 36 and 20 MEP's. The open question is whether the eurosceptic or populist parties, which benefited from low turnout, will be able to form a new parliamentary group. These clearly striking gains are a true shock, especially in UK and Poland where UK Independence Party secured 20 percent of the vote and 17 seats, and in Poland 2 eurosceptic parties scored 10 and 7 seats. For the moment, out of the 723 seats in the next assembly about 77 are expected to be filled by non-aligned MEP's, many of them broadly Eurosceptic or nationalists. It remains to be seen whether they manage to overcome their differences and work as an effective group or as liberal leader Graham Watson expects will be rather 'unproductive members'. It appears that the elections were most of all treated by general public as a test of incumbent domestic politics and national leaders. Thus Mr Schroeder's ruling Social Democrats suffered their worst result in 50 years with just 23 percent of the vote as opposed to 46 percent for the conservative CDU/CSU that makes German delegation the strongest party in the EPP-ED group with 49 seats. Similarly to Germans, French used the poll to voice their concerns about weak economic growth and painful reforms of social security and labour markets. Chirac's conservative UMP scored 16 percent of votes, compared with 29 percent for the Socialists. In UK the outcome of the elections was a sign of punishment for Blair's government for backing the Iraq war therefore his Labour party was completely crushed by conservatives.
