LIBER, the Association of European Research Libraries, which brings together 431 libraries in 40 countries, welcomes the opportunity to contribute to this call for evidence. The 2019 Directive has brought about significant progress. However, the provisions related to research remain fragmented across Member States.

What they argued
There is a notable disjunction between the domains of Research and Innovation. It is imperative to achieve legislative changes to ensure that the entirety of the EU acquis supports the trajectory of innovation development. LIBER, the Association of European Research Libraries, has underscored repeatedly the presence of disruptions in information flow.
