Don't let the trolls/agents/shills drag you into this. They will try hard in
order to discredit the forum, discredit yourself (as well as everybody else),
and in order to lead to resentment.
By the way, I've just spotted the following news:
Danish Unix User Group Files Complaint With EU Commission Against Denmark For
Mandating MSOOXML
,----[ Quote ]
| The Danish Unix User Group, DKUUG, has filed a formal complaint with the EU
| Commission regarding Denmark's mandating ECMA 376, better known by us as
| MSOOXML, for certain procurements.
|
| The complaint [PDF] is grounded in breach of the EC Treaty article 81 on
| unfair competition. The press release says that the regulation "can be seen
| as an attempt to continue the de facto monopoly of Microsoft in the Danish
| state on office software, as the various public agencies and institutions
| need to buy the products of Microsoft to comply to the regulation."

Perhaps you'll find it informative because you're a Danish delegate as I
understand this.
