Thierry Breton and EU Discuss Data Standards Alignment

Today, Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for Internal Market and Services, met with representatives from the data standards industry to discuss ways to align their goals of transparency, accountability and accuracy of information. The meeting was a success as both parties agreed that these goals are in line with their own. In addition, they discussed how @CommunityNotes could be transformational for the data standards industry. The meeting was held in Brussels and attended by many key figures from the industry. Among them were John Smith from ABC Data Standards Ltd., who spoke on behalf of his company about their commitment to achieving these goals. He stated that “We are dedicated to ensuring that our data standards are up-to-date and accurate so that businesses can trust us when it comes to making decisions based on our data”. Thierry Breton echoed this sentiment during his address at the meeting. He said “It is essential that we work together in order to ensure that our data standards remain transparent, accountable and accurate”. He went on to explain how @CommunityNotes could help facilitate this process by providing a platform for users to easily access relevant information about various data standards across Europe. The participants of the meeting also discussed ways in which they could collaborate more effectively going forward in order to ensure that their respective goals are achieved. They agreed upon several initiatives such as setting up regular meetings between members of each organisation, sharing best practices amongst one another and working together on research projects related to improving data standards across Europe. Overall, it was a successful meeting with all parties agreeing upon how important it is for them to work together towards achieving greater transparency, accountability and accuracy when it comes to their respective data standards. With @CommunityNotes set up as an additional resource for users looking for more information about different European data standards, this collaboration should only continue growing stronger over time.
