European Standardisation Strategy - Extended opinion
About a year ago, the European Commission presented the European Standardization Strategy. The aim is to strengthen the EU's global competitiveness, to enable the transition to a green and digital economy, and to anchor democratic values in technology applications.
Standards are becoming an issue of global scope. Other regions are increasing their global influence by taking a more strategic and decisive role. The European standardization system needs evolving to respond to these challenges. However, this must not lead to politicization of standards. The aim must be to create strategic value for companies through standardization.
