Hi Anke

das ist super! Wolltest Du auch einen Vorschlag für Neelie schreiben?
Den können wir dann vielleicht auch noch rechtzeitig autorisieren
lassen wenn wir jetzt schnell sind.

> Spending data has made the workings of government much clearer to

> The US and UK governments have competed in an informal race to get the data
> out, and to reap the benefits.

> We welcome Germany joining that race, for Germany's sake but also
> because we know that as more countries provide data about more things,

> which is very important in this crucial era."

> "We have seen the number of Open Government Data initiatives increasing from

> just starting to be realized: from increased transparency and accountability
> to economic growth and job creation and improved government efficiency and
> effectiveness. We hope this is a trend that cannot be reversed as it

> constituencies relate, allowing a two-way interaction and, in the end,
> improving people's lives. It's crucially important to take all the
> challenges into account and address them properly for those initiatives to
> become a successful success over time and for the people at large to enjoy
> the aforementioned benefits. Germany interest in joining the Open Data
> movement should not but add to the greater impact of Open Data worldwide and
> will help to provide more examples on how to address those challenges and
> reap those benefits."
