EU launches public consultation on standards for Digital Single Market

Xinhua, September 23, 2015 Adjust font size:

The European Commission announced on Wednesday the launch of a public consultation on standards for the Digital Single Market.

With this consultation, the Commission, or the executive body of the European Union, aims to gather views on priorities for standards in key technology areas such as cloud computing, cyber security, 5G communications, eHealth, intelligent transport and smart cities, it said in a statement.

The contributions would serve to build an ICT Priority Standards Plan, as set out in the Digital Single Market Strategy presented by the Commission on May 6.

"We need common standards and interoperability to make the best of fast-growing sectors such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things. We also need them to promote e-government services around Europe and a more inclusive e-society," said Andrus Ansip, European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Single Market.

The public consultation is opened until Dec. 16, said the press release. Endit
