+<h1>EU Parliament intends to widen participation in the Interoperable Europe Board</h1>
+
+<p>Today the EU Parliament’s Committee responsible for the 
+Interoperable Europe Act has adopted its final position. It is a step 
+forward towards a more inclusive Interoperable Europe Board while it 
+introduces clearer indicators and statistics to monitor the progress of 
+the Act. This position must now be upheld during the upcoming 
+trialogue.</p>

+
+<p>Today the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) has 
+voted on its final text of the Interoperable Europe Act which is an 
+improvement of the Commission proposal. The EU Parliament has 
+introduced the possibility for relevant stakeholders to participate 
+with observer status in the Interoperable Europe Board meetings and 
+activities, including within those, the Free Software community.</p>
+
+<p>Furthermore, <a href="/news/2023/news-20230323-02.html">the EU Parliament has also followed our demand</a> 
+suggesting the introduction of clearer objectives and statistics, that will allow to 
+evaluate and properly measure the progress of the activities that will 
+fall under this Act. Especially, when it comes to monitoring the use 
+and uptake of Free Software solutions among public administrations.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<italic>“The inclusion of relevant stakeholders and experts, such as the Free 
+ Software community, in the Interoperable Europe Board must be part of 
+ the final text of the Interoperable Europe Act. Likewise, proper 
+ monitoring and evaluation procedures need to be set up to improve and 
+ adapt the interoperability of Europe in the long run. We, therefore, 
+ call upon the EU Parliament, especially the rapporteur Ivars Ijabs, to 
+ safeguard its position during the upcoming trialogue and to not allow 
+ any backwards step”</italic>, <em> mentions Lina Ceballos, FSFE Policy Project 
+ Manager.</em>
+</blockquote>
+
+
+<p>The ITRE Committee has also voted with a large majority to enter the 
+inter-institutional negotiations. This means that the European 
+Parliament must now defend its position and anchor it to the final text 
+which will be negotiated together with the Council and Commission in 
+the coming weeks. This is of high importance bearing in mind that <a href="/news/2023/news-20230623-01.html">the 
+latest compromise text of the Council is hindering the inclusion of 
+relevant stakeholders</a> in the governance structure of this Act.
