The Commission launches a public consultation on Standards in the Digital Single Market: setting priorities and ensuring delivery [via BDE-Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective societies Community Group]

The Commission recently launched a public consultation on Standards for the
Digital Single Market (DSM). With this consultation, the Commission aims to
gather views on priorities for standards.


Political context: The rapid integration of digital technologies into daily
business practices is fundamentally changing entire sectors and processes. From
the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, the advent of 5G technologies,
digitisation of industries, big data to eHealth applications, smart and
efficient energy and intelligent transport systems, digital technologies are
becoming the foundation of a modern economy and societies. Europe is well placed
to reap all the benefits of this digital transformation given its strengths in
manufacturing and public and private services, and its leading role in important
technologies such as fixed and mobile telecommunications, business software and
embedded systems. (EC analysis document)


The Commission is gathering views on priorities for standards in key technology
areas which are critical to achieving the DSM and which, once delivered, can
constitute a technological foundation upon which other standards can be built.
The Commission is looking for input on standards in:

 5G communications,
 Cloud computing,
 Cybersecurity,
 Data driven services and applications,
 Digitisation of European Industry,
 eHealth,
 Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS),
 Internet of Things,
 Smart Cities and efficient energy use.

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

E.g. Q2.1 – Please identify and rank the domains (up to 5) and subsequently
subdomains (up to 3 per domain) within each domain that you consider a priority.
If specific domains or subdomains are missing please add them. (Domain 4: Data
driven services and applications)
