[Advocacy Advisors] leak of EU Commission copyright whitepaper

[Jens Best]

There is a report about economic impact of Open Data. It can be found in
the site of ePSI platform (European public sector information)
It gives examples of impact on tax, economic development, jobs etc. in
several European countries which freed their data. Maybe this give some
inspirations.

Best regards from the road
