NERC policy on licensing and charging
for environmental data and information products
This policy describes why, when and how NERC will and will not apply charges for Environmental Data and Information Products. It underlines our commitment to apply any charges in a transparent and consistent way.
We have created the policy to be consistent with relevant legislation and Government guidance on charging for information, on open data provision and on licensing.
This includes:
- HM Treasury 'Managing Public Money'
, - HM Government Open Data White Paper 'Unleashing the Potential'
and - Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) Open Data Strategy 2012-14
