In 2004 the first version of the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) and the Architecture Guidelines (AG) were published and introduced a strong support and request for open standards and xml for communication between administrations within Europe, as well as with the citizens. This summer second, revised version of the report has turned up which, contrary to the first version and contrary to the last two decades of net-based economic growth, removes much of the emphasis on open standards and even takes steps in the opposite direction -- away from open standards and formats.

The revisions are not yet final and there is still an opportunity to make corrections before it lands in the European Commission's lap and support open standards in Europe.

Done. Bad news, indeed, the EU is supposed to be a lighting beacon to the world.

IMNSHO, ofcourse.
