Some of the datasets inherit the access restriction from SESAME data base (all these data will have Unrestricted Access in April 2013). Data will definitely be archived after 6 months from the end of the project and will be made available to the public within the limitations imposed by the European Commission and the Consortium Agreement. According to the EU data policy, all data collected during the lifetime of the project are made public two years after the termination of the project.
