A dynamic and open standardisation ecosystem is key to Europe’s strategic autonomy and technology leadership, IP Europe told the European Commission in response to the Commission’s call for evidence on an impact assessment on the EU Standardisation Regulation.

This healthy ecosystem is also key for SMEs and startups. It provides a platform for innovation, offering fundamental technologies and wide interoperability. It also enables the development of new products and services that can be offered to a global market.

IP Europe requests the European Commission to:

• take full account of the geopolitical importance of standardisation and Europe’s role in it

• take steps to increase the participation of European organisations in standardisation

• preserve the standardisation open ecosystem and recognise the role of different business models that support it.
