  2. Standards as a tool for influence trade unions as stakeholders inside the scope of the standard. Standards as a tool for information Development of standards provide early warning on future technologies and methods, thereby affecting qualifications, markets and even legislation. Standards are becoming more important for trade unions

  3. Trade unions must use their influence to influence the contents of future standards and at the same time use information from the standardisation process to plan future training and certification schemes An example: Standards for OH&S for nanotechnologies. Information and influenceare closely connected

  4. The need for a new business model for standardisation bodies like CEN, ETSI etc and NSB’s. The need to create an open, democratic, transparent process, that is also fast, efficient and reliable. Common solutions are not a compromise between national positions. The future for standards?

  5. Standards are public goods and their developments should be a public matter a high degree of public funding Standards should be free of charge and of IPR Participation in standardisation should be on a “cover your own cost” basis but with a support mechanism for under funded stakeholders. The new business model?

A newsletter is produced before and after each meeting. National delegations must reflect a balanced stakeholder participation. Industry. Labour, NGO’s, Consumers, Governments Open, transparent and democratic?

  7. Must engage the best experts from market players, regulators and civil society. Use of web, mails etc to shorten the time between meetings, hearings, commenting etc. A more efficient decision process as an alternative to NSB voting. Let experts, CEN or ISO management decide? Fast, efficient and reliable ?
