"The European institutions should switch to using the Open Document
Format ODF as their internal default document format, says Member of
the European Parliament Indrek Tarand. Speaking at a meeting of the
European Parliament's Free Software User Group (Epfsug), last week
Wednesday, MEP Tarand said: "Moving to ODF would allow real
innovation, and real procurement."
"The day the EU authorities decide to switch to using the ODF
standard, our work is done", the MEP, founder of Epfsug, said.
The European Parliament should also be able to use its own free
software distribution", Tarand said, explaining that the EP's demands
for openness should become more visible also when selecting IT
solutions. "We've been asking this for the past five years, we're
still alive and we're still knocking at the door."
