The new one was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 26 June Directive 2019/1024, of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 relating to open data and the re-use of public sector information. This Directive, which replaces the old Directive 2003/98 / EC, must be transposed into national law before 17 July 2021, which will require a revision of State Law 37/2007 for its adaptation, of 16 November, on reuse of public sector information.
This new Directive, and in order to exploit the potential of public sector information, is adopted because it is considered that the old rules of reuse have become obsolete… In this sense it wants to respond to aspects such as the providing real-time access to data, the increase in the supply of public data, or include in the framework of the same not only public administrations, but also public and private companies (especially when providing services of general interest). It also provides for the empowerment of the opening of research data by applying the FAIR principles (easy, accessible, interoperable and reusable), among others.
It is important to mention that the standard includes for the first time the concept of "Open data", and urges to enhance it from of the design and default. It also encourages the open use licenses or avoid exclusive reuse agreements.
The rule is also explicit in the sense that it will force you to make one electronic advertising of non-reuse decisions, or the inclusion of listed online from the main reusable information. It also encourages the establishment of a thematic list of high value datasets (geospatial, earth observation and environment, meteorology, statistics, societies and property of societies and mobility) to be promoted by the institutions.
From the AOC we believe that the adoption of this new Directive is an opportunity to encourage the publication and reuse of data open to the public sector, and it should be remembered that from the AOC Consortium has already laid the first stone, making a new open data portal available to the local world (associated with the Transparency service).
The portal was presented on March 7, 2019, and is currently located available to all local bodies. The portal facilitates the publication of own data in a reusable format in a usable, agile and simple way, and encourages the standardization of data (via models of common data sets, thinking, created and published from the local world itself). 
As of June 30, 2019 7 town councils and one provincial council they already have the portal to production, and have more than 120 data sets created.
For more information you can consult the service manual, where you will find all the functionalities, or different examples of portals and standardized data sets.
We indicate the link of the service with the access to your request, and we encourage you to request it, and start being part of the community of local entities that already publish their own information with open data.
