Hi,
sorry for the cross-posting.
I'd like to share with you this piece of news, which is still quite recent.
The Italian Ministry of Education University and Research (MIUR)
launched the first 2014 call for young researchers on Jan.23rd 2014.
The call is named SIR (Scientific Independence of young Researchers)
includes a clause mandating OA for publications and data based on the
Horizon 2020 grant agreement clause (29.2) on OA to scientific
publications and also 29.3 on OA to data

<http://attiministeriali.miur.it/anno-2014/gennaio/dd-23012014.aspx>
(article 9) (in Italian- only )
It is a first step.
It is worth remarking this is the first concrete action on OA by the
Ministry as a funding institution.
Regards,
Paola
PS Follows a rough translation into English
*Article 9*
Each Principal investigator (PI) must ensure open access (free of
charge, online access for any user) to all peer-reviewed scientific
publications relating to the results achieved in the project.
In particular, PI must
- as soon as possible and at the latest on publication, deposit a
machine-readable electronic copy of the published version or final
peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for publication in a repository for
scientific publications; Moreover, PI must aim to deposit at the same
time the research data needed to validate the results presented in the
deposited scientific publications.
- ensure open access to the deposited publication --- via the
repository --- at the latest: on publication, if an electronic version
is available for free via the publisher, or within six months of
publication (twelve months for publications in the social sciences and
humanities) in any other case.
- ensure open access --- via the repository --- to the bibliographic
metadata that identify the deposited publication. The bibliographic
metadata must be in a standard format and must include all of the following:

of 8 August 2013, converted with amendments by Law 91 of October 7, 2013
, 112 and , in particular, " a project sheet listing the names of the
individuals who contributed to its realization. "
2 What isindicated above with respect to the publication of the research
data does not affect any obligation of confidentiality , as well as
requirements regarding the protection of personal data, both remain
unaffected.
3 . As an exception, PIs are also exempted to ensure open access to
specific parts of their research data, if open access to such data would
compromise the achievement of the main objective of the research. In
