Opening new markets worldwide for Europe's ICT industry: Commission launched a public consultation
In July 2007, the European Commission launched a public consultation to help
strengthen the global position of Europe's Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) industries by ensuring access to global markets. The
consultation was closed at the end of September and was open to all
stakeholders, including industries, research community and consumer
organisations. The Commission seeks to capture stakeholder views on market
access and on regulatory issues so as to refine its EU strategy for
international cooperation on ICT.
(02/07/2007) "Our ICT industry
in Europe needs to think and be global," said the EU's Information Society and
Media Commissioner Viviane Reding. "While we have been working hard to create a
single telecoms market in Europe, we must not lose sight of the global picture.
There are further markets to take abroad for Europe's ICT industry if we
strengthen its competitiveness and remove barriers to trade in third countries.
Today's consultation therefore seeks to identify trade barriers and business
opportunities that exist worldwide for Europe's ICT industry."
With the public consultation launched today, the Commission aims to formulate a
more ambitious, targeted international EU strategy for ICT that explores new
markets for EU industries, improves the competitiveness of Europe's ICT industry
in global markets and promotes EU interests worldwide.
