The use of open standards will be made mandatory for public administrations. A law proposal by MP Astrid Oosenbrug was adopted by the Parliament's lower house yesterday. According to the MP, the open standards requirement will be one of several changes to the country's administrative law, introduced next year. "The minister has earlier agreed to make open standards mandatory", she said. "The parliament is making sure this actually happens."
The first public administration that should improve its use of open standards, is the Parliament's lower house itself, MP Oosenbrug said. "Ironically, lower house published the adopted law on its website by providing a download link to a document in a proprietary format."
A sensible move from a sensible people.

You cannot tolerate intolerant people?
People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.
