"We [the EU Research and Innovation Directorate-General] are pleased to present you the results of the 2010/11 questionnaire on Open Access and Preservation Policies in Europe, which gives an overview of how policies and strategies on open access and preservation have been developing in the European Research Area: ...As highlighted by Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn in her Foreword, the report shows that open access is backed by a growing number of universities, research centres and funding agencies across Europe. Recent developments, such as the commitment in early December 2011 of the UK government to make publicly funded research free to access, confirm this dynamic growth. The information contained in the report is a milestone that serves as valuable input for the development of a Commission policy on access and dissemination of scientific outputs in the European Research Area and in Horizon 2020...."

The report shows that open access is backed by a growing number of universities, research centres and funding agencies across Europe....The questionnaire was sent to all ERAC Members and Observers on 25 November 2010. The Commission received 29 responses between 21 December 2010 and 11 March 2011: 25 from EU Member States (Bulgaria and Hungary did not respond) and four from ERAC Observers (Iceland, Montenegro, Norway and Switzerland)....The final report, which incorporates some corrections and additional information, was prepared in September-October 2011.
