2016年5月27日星期五，欧盟负责科学、创新、贸易和工业的部长决定，从2020年开始，科学论文必须向所有人免费开放。这个目标是之前为了促进开放科学而已经给出的一揽子建议中的一部分。此决定同时指出，对于研究数据，如果可能，也要作为开放数据进行出版，并且数据必须可为第三方获取。
在这个2020年后全面进行科学论文开放获取的欧盟决定之前，欧盟秘书长Sander Dekker 在两年前就曾经决定，在2024年，所有的科学论文都应该是100%开放获取的。

EU: from 2020 “open access” standard for all scientific articles
Friday May 27 2016 the European ministers of science, innovation, trade, and industry decided that from 2020 all scientific articles must be freely available to everyone. This goal is part of a broader set of recommendations that has been done to promote open science. The Ministers also decided that research data, if possible, should be published as open data, and that the data must be made available to third parties.
This European decision for fully open access of scientific articles in 2020 is ahead of the position of Secretary Sander Dekker. Two years ago he decided that that in 2024 all scientific articles should be 100 percent open access available.
