Summary:

From Google's English: 

'Open access has been firmly anchored as a science policy goal in Europe since 2012 at the latest. With the » Council Conclusions on the transition towards an Open Science system published in May 2016«The target was set that open access should be the standard mode of scientific publishing by 2020. In 2018, the so-called Plan S was launched by Robert-Jan Smits, then Special Envoy of the European Commission for Open Access. It came about in particular because it became apparent that the goal already formulated in 2012 could not be achieved. After all, the rate of directly accessible publications in pure open access journals (so-called golden open access) in the large developed countries of Europe (Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy) was only between 12 and 16 percent in 2017. Even if you take into account all the articles that were available in Open Access in 2019 (golden, hybrid).'
