(24) The existing rules should be streamlined to enhance clarity and consistency. Nevertheless, the two reuse regimes should remain distinct and their respective scope of application should continue to depend on the characteristics of the data or documents and the context of their reuse. Public sector bodies should apply the open data regime whenever possible and give priority to making data and documents available in machine-readable, open and interoperable formats, on a non-discriminatory basis and under standard open licences, where appropriate. Only where they determine that data or a document contains information corresponding to certain categories of protected data should they limit its public availability and consider making it available for reuse as protected data under proportionate conditions that are strictly necessary to protect those interests.
