It was actually more interesting than I thought: the Polish argued that
they had a right to access data, and no re-use rules. Therefore, they also
had no re-use restrictions, meaning that freedom to re-use PSI in Poland
was absolute, and that the objectives of the PSI Directive was reached. In
fact, adopting re-use rules and procedures would actually restrict this
freedom, according to the Poles. Not a bad argument, though it’s a lot less
convincing after you’ve spent three years telling the Commission that a
transposition is coming soon… J

any comments are welcome in the mean time. I also noticed that we don’t
have full case descriptions for the past infringement proceedings on the
website yet. While I’m not hugely enthusiastic about that option (historic
cases with limited relevance today…), we could choose to add all of those,
if Juan makes a major point about getting to our legal case quota.
