Market-oriented open network provision

Article Abstract:

The governments of EU member countries should enact 'standards for standard setters' to transcend the incompatibility of technical standards in each country and facilitate an open network for international trade in goods and services. Such standards, however, should not lead to excessive regulation by government agencies nor enhance the market power of industries involved in the standardization process. Rather, these two standard setters should be 'prevented to regulate in the competitive and contestable parts of the network.'
