Anyone knows if a [[w:green paper]] from the European Union is under copyright? I'm asking it because IMHO the following green paper can be a great addition to Wikisource: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/copyright/copyright-infso/copyright-infs...
Wrong question. Is there any evidence that the EU put something in the PD? No.

Actually you are much more likely to find edvidence that anything is under copyright than that it is PD.
I far as I remember EU maintains copyrights on all it's works. I don't remember how long they reserve copyright for however. But I imagine that document is no where close to falling out of copyright.

Quickly on a tangent... I tried to find a basis for EU works being in the PD, however i was more interested in the legislative and supporting documents:

It is dangerous to misunderstand non-technical copyright notices. The page cited above quotes a notice on the "Journal": "access to the site is completely free and not subject to any conditions." This has nothing to do with re-use possibilities we need. The statement "However, legislative material is treated as being in the public domain for end-users" isn't useful. Public domain for the end users means in my interpretation that commercial re-use is forbidden and thus the notice is absolutely worthless for WS.
