At the European level, open standards and interoperability are endangered and could disappear from European Union's digital policy agenda. Please act now.

Neelie Kroes, European Commissioner in charge of Digital Strategy (and former European Commissioner for Competition), is currently drafting the agenda for Europe's digital policy. Neelie Kroes suffers pressure through the Directorate General Company to remove open standards and interoperability concepts from the agenda.

April published a letter sent to European commission supporting Commissioner Neelie Kroes' approach in favor of open standards and interoperability in the digital agenda. We urge everybody to relay this letter and to write to the Commission to make our voice.

The letter and the press release :

Here are the contact addresses for those four key people:
