DK: Finance ministry: 'Open standards advance competition, lower cost'  

,----[ Quote ]
| Denmark's ministry of Finance says that 
| using open standards can increase 
| competition and may help to decrease costs 
| for the public sector. However, the ministry 
| advises against moving to open standards 
| without determining these cost benefits.
| 
| Lars Frelle-Petersen, manager of 
| digitisation at the ministry of Finance, 
| expects that open standards will be 
| increasingly important in the Danish public 
| sector.
