duplicate-content

I am working on a site that takes a governmental data base, provides a number of statistical and other summaries and also post the original data.

However this data (mostly long pieces of text) is also published on the official governmental site (without the added value of summaries).

Should I worry about google ranking due to this duplication? What is the preferred way to point to the official source of the information?

There is no advertisement on my site. My site is ".com". The governmental site is ".bg".
