The paper reviews the debates and policies on access to Public Sector Information
(PSI) in Europe in relation to the contests between policies of open access,
rights of access to PSI by citizens and business, and the assessment of the
cost benefits of PSI to the economy and society. The political dimension of
these debates within the European Union is highlighted to demonstrate the complexities
of the governance of information within a pan-European regulatory framework.
