EU citizens: petition for open formats at the Parliament

[Hagar Delest]

Open Parliament – Petition to the European Parliament on the implications of ICT lock-in for participative democracy and for competition

The signatories of this petition, representing a Community for Freedom of Choice and Market in the European Union, draw the attention of the Members of the European Parliament to the current situation where the institution’s ICT systems are locked into the products of one vendor, warns about the implications of this for participative democracy and for fair competition, and calls for action to promote Open Standards and Interoperability.

...

If you also think that the Parliament should use open standards, then, please sign the petition (for EU citizens).

The petition has been launched on March 6th, 2008. Nearly 1400 signatures today.
