12	Review the EU data protection rules	This lack of clarity in online privacy rules triggers a lack of trust among consumers, which slows down the growth of Europe's online economy. The Commission consulted the public and stakeholders and adopt a Commission Communication on renewing the EU data protection rules	The key EU actions and any national laws which may follow will have an impact on EGI’s sites and services. EGI.eu needs to ensure that any new EGI policy is consistent with the current EU security and trust policies. ACTION: TRACK AND INFORM	EC	Low Relevance	Security	31/12/2010	Delayed
21	Propose legislation on ICT interoperability	Better Europe-wide standards would enhance interoperability and ensure that digital applications and devices work across borders. These problems will be addressed in the reform of the EU standardization framework. Finally, it will identify and execute appropriate actions in the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation enabling easy access for research projects to standardization activities.	There is an obvious necessity to follow and be up to date with the last developments in the EU interoperability and standardisation field. EGI.eu should strongly communicate to the European Commission that it needs its support in order to expedite interoperability and standardisation efforts for Distributed Computing Infrastructures. It is important to highlight not only the participation but leadership roles that EGEE and EGI and other high-level people have played in various standards groups (especially OGF) and that EGI and EGI.eu will continue to push technical efforts in order to reach these goals. ACTION: TRACK AND INFORM. ACTION: COMMUNICATE OUR CONTRIBUTION TO ENHANCE INTEROPERABILITY AND STANDARDISATION EFFORTS ON EUROPEAN AND GLOBAL LEVEL TO EC.

22	Promote rules via guidelines for ex-ante disclosure	Public authorities should make the best use of available standards when commissioning hardware, software and IT services from external suppliers. The Commission will draw up detailed guidelines on how to make best use of ICT standards in tender specifications. Action is completed by defining the appropriate rules for essential Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and licensing conditions in standard-setting through the adoption of the Horizontal guidelines.	The Standardisation chapter of the revised Horizontal guidelines gives guidance on how to ensure that the process for selecting industry standards is competitive, open and transparent. Once a standard is adopted, access will be given on "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory" (FRAND) terms to interested businesses and individuals. The purpose of the chapter is to promote an open and transparent standard-setting system in order to increase the transparency of licensing costs for IPRs. ACTION: TRACK AND INFORM.
