We would like to inform you that the Ministry of Digital Transformation has prepared a Draft Law on Open Data and Reuse of Public Sector Data, which has been published on the Unique National Electronic Register of Regulations (ENER) and is available for comments and remarks at the following link:
Draft Law on Open Data and Reuse of Public Sector Data
Нацрт-Закон за отворени податоци и повторна употреба на податоците од јавниот сектор
The Draft Law aligns with Directive 2019/1024 on Open Data and Reuse of Data. Namely, public institutions daily generate a large amount of data with significant economic and social value. Directive 2019/1024 on Open Data and Reuse of Public Sector Data identifies such data and determines that it should be available in a machine-readable format, for easier use and reuse. The introduction of open data stimulates the economy and creates a greater number of jobs with requiring data-related skills. The economy benefits from simplified access to data, as it contributes to the development of new innovative services and the creation of new business models.
In the context of the above, we invite all interested parties to contribute by submitting comments and remarks.
