2023 2. 参考事例❘環境障壁の除外: EU/INSPIRE EUでは、公共機関のもつ地理空間情報をインフラとしてオープンデータ化していくため、 INSPIRE(Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community)を設立。環境に影響を与えうるEU法の策定と実行において空間情報を用いなければならないことと、その際の データ・サービスの公開に制限/課金制を設けてはいけないことなどが法律で規定されていることにより、データ提供・オープンデータ化を促している。 (1) Community policy on the environment must aim at a high level of protection taking into account the diversity of situations in the various regions of the Community. Moreover, information, including spatial information, is needed for the formulation and implementation of this policy and other Community policies, which must integrate environmental protection requirements in accordance with Article 6 of the Treaty. In order to bring about such integration, it is necessary to establish a measure of coordination between the users and providers of the information so that information and knowledge from different sectors can be combined. 環境保護要件に係る本政策およびその他の共同体政策の策定と実施には、空間情報を含む情報が必要 Article 13 1. By way of derogation from Article 11(1), Member States may limit public access to spatial data sets (以下略) 2. The grounds for limiting access, as provided for in paragraph 1, shall be interpreted in a restrictive way, taking into account for the particular case the public interest served by providing this access. In every particular case, the public interest served by disclosure shall be weighed against the interest served by limiting or conditioning the access. Member States may not, by virtue of points (a), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of paragraph 1, limit access to information on emissions into the environment. 空間データセット・サービスへのアクセスは必要に応じて制限できるが、環境への排出に関する情報は一部の特別な理由を除いて制限できない Article17-3 Member States may allow public authorities that supply spatial data sets and services to license them to, and/or require payment from, the public authorities or institutions and bodies of the Community that use these spatial data sets and services. (中略)Spatial data sets and services provided by Member States to Community institutions and bodies in order to fulfil their reporting obligations under Community legislation relating to the environment shall not be subject to any charging. 空間データセット・サービスの利用はライセンス制・課金制を取ることができるが、環境に関するEU法に基づく報告義務を果たすために提供するものは対象にならない Source: EUR-Lex|INSPIRE Directive
