20. Who’sWho in PSI CADA The mission of the organisation, Access Commission to Administrative (CADA in French), since 2005, makes a recommendation when there is a conflict between a private company and a public information producer or gives advice when a public producer, who receives a re-use demand, asks for help. This commission received very few questions about re-use (only 7% in 2010). All the answers were favorable to the re-users.
