3. Work Programme 2018 Business sectors Topics Outreach activities
- The 2018 Work Programme: download from website.
- overview of what the planned activities are for the different sectors (e.g. construction, digital society, machinery, services, etc.).
For each sector:
what it is,
which TC,
how many standards published/being developed,
which standardization requests we From EC/EFTA
what they will focus on in 2018.
“hot” topics: Accessibility, the Environment or Smart Technologies the Work Programme reflects what are CEN and CENELEC’s intention.
Outreach activities:
inclusiveness of the ESS
What support SME,
Research and innovation

4. Huge growth potential for EU SMEs
Digitization of SMEs
Digitization of
Processes
Systems
Supply chain
Huge growth potential for EU SMEs
The digitization of processes, systems and supply chain is transforming European industry and the lives of European consumers
And it gives a huge growth potential for SMEs.
Traditional sectors of the economy are increasingly employing digital technologies (like internet of things, data management, cloud computing)  CEN’s and CENELEC’s industry stakeholders are looking for support, including standardization solutions.
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

5. How can standards support Europe’s digital transformation?
EU businesses: to take full advantage of advanced technologies or innovative business models
Varies according to
sector: high-tech vs traditional areas
EU countries and regions
Company size: large companies vs SMEs
However, the EU businesses are not taking full advantage of advanced technologies and innovative business models.
The state of the digitalization of businesses
- varies across sectors: high-tech and traditional areas e.g. construction sector and automated vehicles
- larger countries vs smaller countries  Estonia digitally developed
large companies and SMEs
So need to harmonize everything
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

6. Strategic Plan for Digital Transformation
Key focus:
Make standards for the digital economy
Digitally transform CEN and CENELEC
CEN and CLC have adopted a Strategic Plan for Digital Transformation with 2 key focusses:
Make standards for the digital economy
Digitally transform CEN and CENELEC
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

7. How can standards support Europe’s digital transformation?
No Digitalization without Cooperation!
There are several layers of cooperation
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

8. 1. CEN, CENELEC, ISO and IEC The first layer is
The relation between national, European and international standardization organizations;
CEN and CLC strongly support the international organizations ISO and IEC to ensure the openness of the IT market
The main goal is the adoption of international standards as European Standards (ENs) and the uptake of European standards international level
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

9. 2. CEN, CENELEC and ETSI National Standards Organizations
CEN, CENELEC, ETSI “Coordination” groups
vertical sectors: Smart Grids, Smart Meters, Smart cities, Green data centres, …
Technical Committees: different modes of cooperation
Mode 5 (Integrated relation): eAccessibility, EMC, …
Mode 4 (Collaborative ‘elation): eHealth, Broadband efficiency, Power line telecommunications, …
ETSI does not always develop European Standards (ENs) but also technical specifications. ETSI Ens to be approved by the NSOs = mostly CEN-CLC members too
some coordination groups (next slide) between CEN, CENELEC and ETSI: to avoid overlapping activities and to ensure that activities are coordinated amongst the ESOs
At TC level, we have several modes of cooperation.
Mode 4, “collaborative relation” mode: one party takes the lead in the activities but the work sessions and meetings receive delegates from the other(s) who have observer status and who assure the technical liaison with the other Party.
Mode 5, joint technical body with ETSI participation
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

10. CEN and CENELEC
CEN and CENELEC activities support the following sectors:
These are our activities in which CEN and CENELEC have TCs, Focus Groups or coordination groups.
ETSI is involved in the “Smart” groups: Smart meters, smart cities and smart grids.
Some examples:
CEN-CLC/TC 13 Cybersecurity
CEN-CLC/TC 8 Privacy
Coordination Group on Smart Grids and Smart Meters (more than 50 TCs in this field)
Upcoming Focus Group on Blockchain: relevant for finance, manufacturing, smart energy management, eprocurement…
CEN/TC 278 on Intelligent transport systems
CEN/TC 434 eInvoicing
CEN/TC 440 eProcurement
CEN/CLC/ETSI Sector Forum on Smart Cities
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

11. 3. Cooperation with Fora and Consortia
Online standardization
21st century standards content
Establishing strategic alliances
Engaging the next generation
A lot of fora and consortia are developing their own specifications.
Online standardization: development with ISO and IEC of a common, user-friendly environment (online collaboration tool) to comment on standards.  important for SMEs because on this platform they can have their say on the standard that is being developed
“21st century standards content” refers to the CEN-CENELEC objective to deliver SML-format standards (national, European and international) that can be incorporated into software and to provide machine readable standardization solutions
CEN and CENELEC want to establish strategic alliances and attract Fora and Consortia to integrate their solutions into CEN/CLC systems to avoid overlaps and because they may have particular knowledge and expertise that we may not have, in particular when it comes to internet specifications or open source. E.g. the Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI), the European Cyber Security Organization (ECSO) and the Big Data Value Association (BDVA)
Engaging the next generation: attracting digital experts and digital natives to standardization
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

12. 3. Cooperation with Fora and Consortia: the role of the MSP
Identification of potential future ICT standardization needs in support of EU policies, legislation
Identification of technical specifications for public procurements, developed by SDOs that are not ESOs
Enhance cooperation between ICT standards-setting organizations, Member States and stakeholders
The Multi Stakeholder Platform or MSP on ICT standardization is organized by the EC with participation of SDOs (not only NSB/NCs but also fora and consortia), ISO and IEC
It identifies potential future ICT standardization needs in support of EU policies and legislation
It also identifies technical specifications for public procurements, developed by SDOs that are not ESOs
And it enhances cooperation between ICT standards-setting organizations, Member States and stakeholders
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

13. 4. European Platform of National initiatives
This is a snapshot about the digitalization of EU industries which is a global project and in which CEN and CLC are intensively involved.
Each Member State has developed a national project to support the digitalization of European industry
Our objective (also with ETSI) is to bring these projects together to develop a EU platform
Together we are working on the security and stability of the digital economy, which, I believe, is also one of the priorities of the Bulgarian presidency of the EU Council “United we stand”

14. 5. CEN, CENELEC and relevant PPPs
What have CEN and CENELEC done so far?
Cybersecurity: ECSO
IoT: AIOTI
Data: Big Data Value
Cloud: CloudWatch
What have CEN and CENELEC not covered so far?
5G: 5GPPP
PPP = Public Private Partnership funded by EC
5 priority projects of the EC for the digital single market. Slide shows where CEN and CENELEC are already involved and the organizations with whom CEN and CENELEC cooperate in order to understand the particular needs from the market
(ECSO etc. are organizations)
I. Soetaert SBS Twinning Seminar (Sofia /26)

15. CEN and CENELEC CEN & CENELEC as the hubs for Europe’s Digitalization
Leveraging gateways for standardization solutions
Well positioned to identify common standardization needs
message towards SMEs that may want to be involved in digitization, whether at national level or international level, with fora and consortia, with national and European platforms or with the JIS Action 14 because it is crucial to have SMEs on board.
 SMEs to come to CEN-CENELEC because we can provide SMEs the link to all relevant organizations.

20. Upcoming events

21. Conference: Cybersecurity Act
Cybersecurity Act – Establishing the link between Standardization and Certification
Tuesday 13 February 2018, Brussels
Organized by CEN, CENELEC, ETSI, ENISA
Target audience: policy makers, industry, standardization organizations, certification bodies, those involved in the development of the IECT certification framework in Europe
The proposed EU Regulation called the ‘Cybersecurity Act’, establishes a European Cybersecurity Certification Framework for ICT products and services.
It specifies the essential functions and tasks of the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) in the field of cybersecurity certification.
This Act raises a number of questions regarding the standards needed to support such certification framework and the role of the different cybersecurity stakeholders.
The conference will present the Cybersecurity certification landscape and unveil what it means for policy makers, industry, citizens, certification bodies, and the European Standardization System.
At the end of the day, attendees will have a clearer view about the legislative landscape and the path forward for standards to support the Cybersecurity certification framework.

22. CEN and CENELEC will meet Commissioner Mariya Gabriel
(Digital Economy and Society)
On 21 February 2018

23. Thank you! Any questions?
