[OKFN-FR] [euopendata] [ITRE Nov 29th] PSI votes on Open Formats tomorrow at EUparl 10am

[Javier Ruiz]

MEP Kalfin who is the reporter for this PSI change for the EP is however now convinced that that term can be easily molded by propriatery providers. He stateed several times on opendata events in Bulgaria, that he would recommend the open standards approach. The question is if the ohers will follow.
