Article:		European Commissions revising ICT Standardisation policy
More Information:		ICT standardisation is part of the general standardisation activities and contributes to the policy objective of improving European competitiveness while balancing industry expectations with societal needs. The main objective for the EU ICT standardisation policy is to promote the use of standards as a means to increase interoperability between services and applications. Given the global nature of the market, synergy and cooperation between the ESOs and relevant fora and consortia is encouraged to cope with the ever-growing demand for standards to support interoperability in this fast evolving and innovative technology domain. A Commission paper on the 2010-2013 ICT standardisation work programme is attached, which covers the following ITS related priority domains: Domain 3: Intelligent transport Domain 4: RFID Domain 14: Support to standards implementation The Commission services are inviting the ESOs, where appropriate in cooperation with relevant fora and consortia, to initiate standardisation activities as well as activities supporting the implementation of standards.
