Many agencies do that, e.g. ERC requires it. However it hasn't changed anything, because these publishers charge (a lot) for open access, and ERC just ends up subsidizing them even more.

Then perhaps those agencies could create their own journals which are open access and then publish everything through those? That'd be an easy way, without having to pay for the open-access?
