Open Standards: Open Parliament Initiative, join the petition

Filed under: Europe eGov, File Format, OpenOffice.org — by Roberto Galoppini at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, April 8, 2008

I am a citizen of the EU, and I want the European Parliament to adopt the use of open standards and to promote interoperability in the ICT sector.

The signatories of this petition, representing a Community for Freedom of Choice and Market in the European Union, draw the attention of the Members of the European Parliament to the current situation where the institution’s ICT systems are locked into the products of one vendor, warns about the implications of this for participative democracy and for fair competition, and calls for action to promote Open Standards and Interoperability.

Read and sign the petition.
