EU Catalogue for Procurement: workshop on governance

The European Commission Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content & Technology (DG CONNECT) works for the Member of the Commission responsible for the Digital Economy and Society. Our main objective is to develop a Digital Single Market in order to generate smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in Europe.The Directorate-General (DG) for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROWTH) is the European Commission service responsible for, amongst others, completing the Internal Market for goods and services, helping turn the EU into a smart, sustainable, and inclusive economy, and fostering entrepreneurship and growth for businesses.

DG CONNECT & DG GROWTH

DG Connect and DG Growth have commissioned a project to analyse and launch a European Catalogue of ICT Standards for Public Procurement.
The objective of this European Catalogue is to provide a one-stop-shop at the EU level to support and guide public procurers when referring to ICT standards and profiles of standards in their calls for tenders. This Catalogue should help drive the adoption of European standards, while ensuring progressive convergence on the use of ICT standards by public procurers, increasing interoperability and reducing both market fragmentation and the risk of vendor lock-in with proprietary solutions.
As part of the European Catalogue project, a workshop has been planned for 15 June. The Workshop location is Room 0/S1, 25 avenue de Beaulieu, 1160 Auderghem, Brussels. Registration for the Workshop will commence at 10:00 (CEST) and the Workshop will conclude at 17:00 (CEST).
The purposes of this workshop are to examine a range of:
<OL>
<LI>proposed adoption processes for this future Catalogue</LI>
<LI>proposed governance frameworks for this future Catalogue</LI>
<LI>proposed maintenance processes for the ongoing operation of this future Catalogue</LI>
</OL>
