Marc, all,

See below Katalins suggestion for the charging practices TR. Thoughts on
how doable this is to get to them mid September for their negotiations?

 Dear Ton,****

** **

Thank you very much for the Topic Report that you have just sent to us. We
will soon come back to you on that.****

** **

Thank you for the very constructive phone conversation yesterday.****

As you may remember, we have promised to come back to you with some
clarification of a potential candidate for a subject for one of the next
topic reports, namely the charging issue.****

We have briefly discussed it internally and come to the conclusion, that
the most realistic request that we may have towards you and the most useful
paper that could serve our purposes would be a paper demonstrating the
trends of charging practices in the Member States. What we would need is
basically some evidence showing that the general trend in the Member States
with regard to charging is a decreasing one, i.e. from the direction of the
total cost recovery model to the marginal cost model or even to the zero
cost model.  If it is too ambitious for the purpose of a topic paper, which
I suppose will be the case, to provide a snapshot of all the Member States
in this respect, then you may consider selecting some Member States as
descriptive examples and use these cases to demonstrate the current trend.**
**

** **

I hope this information feeds a bit into your internal reflection process.
Please let me know if you need further clarification on this issue from our
side.****

** **

As regards the timing of the paper, since the discussions in the Council
and the EP are going on at full speed in the framework of the legislative
procedure on the revised PSI Directive, if we want this topic paper on
charging to be a real input to the ongoing negotiations, it would be
crucial to have it as soon as possible and possibly in the course of
September. Is that realistic in your view?****

** **

Thank you in advance.****

Best regards,****

Katalin****

Dear Szymon, Katalin,****

** **

Thank you for the phone conversation yesterday, in which we also discussed
two new Topic Reports.****

** **

One Topic Report on local data is ready and currently being proof read by
our external native speaker editor. I will receive it back from the editor
next Tuesday, and will then forward it to you.****

** **

One Topic Report on procurement data is ready and proof read, and attached
for your approval.****

** **

Upon receiving your approval we will proceed to publish the Topic Report
(as well as the two sent earlier) on the ePSIplatform.****

** **

best,****
