Abstract
Standards are very important for Information and Communication Technology (ICT). For instance, the European Commission (EC) views interconnection of networks and interoperability of services and applications as paramount for facilitating evolution towards the Information Society, and open systems standards are considered to be essential for interconnectivity and interoperability (Bucciarelli, 1995, p. 421). The European standardisation process is expected to be reviewed to increase its speed of action and responsiveness to the market (ibid.).
