Recommendation 26
26
Paragraph: 99
The setting of international standards is important for national economic competitivity and technical capability.
Conclusion
The setting of international standards is important for national economic competitivity and technical capability. The influence of British companies and officials in global standards-setting processes is diminishing. Although the ‘5G Supply Chain Diversification Strategy’ sets out the Government’s intention to redress this in the telecommunications sector, it is not clear that there are similar plans for other important technological sectors.
