 efficient and private procurers of technology should be smart and build their systems as much as possible on standards that everybody can use and implement without constraints, otherwise it doesn't make sense. That is good for the bottom line, because it promotes competition between the suppliers and prevents vendor lock-in. And to put it another way, as I said at the end of my speech on that occasion, choosing open standards is a very smart business decision. And that speech at that time brought a general perspective to my work on competition policy.

So today I must apply that thinking in a more direct way as the person who has proposed the digital agenda for Europe. And of course the whole commission is responsible for the digital agenda.
