Questions

II.1 Questions on general framework and problem statement

It is of particular interest to understand if the standards currently under development effectivelymatch interoperability and successfully creating a Digital Single Market. In addition, it isespecially interesting to identify those actions in standards development that could act as asolution for wider industry and public needs, not limited to the specific technologies that havebeen standardized.

Please indicate whether you agree to the following statements and explain your answerbriefly.

Q1.1 - Do you share the Commission's analysis in Part 2 of?this document

YESPARTLYNONO OPINION

*Please explain:

We largely share the analysis. But we make a plea to strengthen the

security aspects in

EACH of the 10 domains, in addition to making it a horizontal theme

Q1.2 - ICT is assuming a greater role in sectors of the economy which were not previouslysignificant users of ICT. How do you see for the economy, in particularthe role of ICT standardsbeyond the ICT sector?

Very ImportantImportantModest importanceNot importantNo opinion

*Your comment, indicating a specific sector:

ICT standards enable to interoperability and secure operation of systems

within and across application sectors with unprecedented improvements in

quality of life in areas like transport,

health and smart buildings/cities

Q1.3 - Do you agree that setting priorities for ICT standards at EU level, accompanied by cleartime-tables, could help standard-setting organisations in better organising their work andsupport the Digital Single Market?

YESPARTLYNONO OPINION

*Please explain why:

Sure, provided that it is based on typical European strengths (like in

security and privacy),

and a clever strategy is created to disseminate European standards into

global standards

Q1.4. - What other steps should be considered to ensure that any such prioritisation wouldenjoy broad support of key stakeholders?

Collateral policy to strengthen the standardization efforts via public

procurement, PPP and

regulation in areas like spectrum and traffic

*

*

Q1.5 - What would be the most effective instrument at EU level to ensure that any suchprioritisation is taken up by relevant standard-setting organisations? (please select and rank upto 3 instruments)

A Commission Communication

A Commission Recommendation

Standardization requests issued to EU standard-setting organisations andincluded in the Annual Union Work Programme for Europeanstandardisation

None of them

Your comment:

Q1.6 - What would be the impact of a priority ICT standards plan defined at the level of the EUon Europe's effort ?to pursue leadership in global standard-setting

POSITIVENEUTRALNEGATIVENO OPINION

*Please explain:

Standards can help to lead in reaping the benefits of the digital

economy, simultaneous with

enhancing the position of European Industry

Q1.7 - What would be the impact of a priority ICT standards plan defined at the level of the EUon the ability of European companies ?to capture new global market opportunities

POSITIVENEUTRALNEGATIVENO OPINION

*

6

*Please explain:

see above; Q 1.6 and 1.7 should be treated in conjunction because they

reinforce each other

Q1.8 - Besides establishing a priority ICT standards plan, what other measures could theCommission (or other EU institutions) take to ensure that standardisation plays its role inachieving a Digital Single Market?

As stated: a consistent strategy in which standardization goes

hand-in-hand with R&D programs, public procurement, PPP and regulation

in areas like spectrum and traffic

Q1.9 - How should standard-setting organisations best respond to the increasing speed oftechnological development and the integration of technologies in business processes across allindustrial sectors?

A - Regarding the adaptation of existing standards tonew developments:

To shorten development cycles and move towards a direct

industry-participation model

like in ETSI (mainstream-ETSI as well as the ISG's in ETSI)

B - Regarding the introduction of new standards for new:technologies/products

Same as above, + the reinforcement of fasttrack collaboration with

industry organizations,

like ISO IEC JTC 1 does with Ecma

Q1.10 - How do you see the involvement of European ICT Standardization experts ininternational standardisation organisations (ITU, ISO, IEC) and global standard settingorganizations (i.e. IEEE, IETF, OASIS, W3C, ECMA international)?

A - The :SCOPE (or LEVEL?) of involvementIs appropriateShould be increasedShould be decreasedNo opinion

*

Please explain:

Increased collaboration can combine the best of both worlds: the speed

of industry

standardization with the acceptance of the transparency of formal

standardization

B - The :QUALITY of involvementIs appropriateShould be improvedNo opinion

Please explain:

Is appropriate in general, though sometimes underrepresented compared to

government-funded participation from Japan, Korea and China

II.2 Questions on priority domains for standardisation in the Digital SingleMarket

In this section, the Commission invites survey participants to express opinions and ideas onsetting priorities for ICT standardisation.

The Commission has identified 10 domains set out below, as well as a set of sub-domainswithin each domain. Please note that domains and subdomains are interrelated and thatoverlaps are possible and desirable in particular with respect to synergies between differentsectors. Some domains are horizontal and may benefit a large number of sectorialapplications; some other domains are more sectorial and were identified as areas where ICTstandardisation would bring important benefits.

First check whether the list of domains is complete and relevant. If the list is consideredincomplete, please complement it with additional domains that you consider priority.

In the present pleroma of competing standards, mostly created in

industry cttee's, the EU can make a difference by combining innovation

with a user-driven standardization approach

be underestimated.

2) Spectrum policy is still a gap. Spectrum-requirements in the ISM-band

should be well balanced: interests from the LTE-industry should be

weighted against those of manufacturers of short-range devices (ZigBee,

Wifi, Bluetooth) and should not prevail by company size of

lobby-muscles.

Harmonisation between companies in the energy sector is a key to

achieving focus and market-size; the present divergence and

fragmentation in the smart metering market is a shame as it makes the

applicants shy and brings to too high and scattered development efforts

by technology companies. Safeguard privacy and security - not driven by

consultants but by companies from the energy sector and manufacturers,

with important contribution from consumer organisations.
