What are our key recommendations?
1. Active sponsorship and funding for RFID-specific cooperative R&D: from applied research to close to market innovation
2. Generic, interoperable and easily applicable standards3. Close cooperation between the existing international
standardisation organisations 4. Companies need application-specific guidelines to implement RFID5. Upholding the principle of technology neutrality in the regulatory
approach 6. Need of continuous dialogue between all stakeholders
All these topics have to be discussed with international focus to support the competitiveness of the European (RFID) industry in the world
97th CERP Meeting Sophia-Antipolis 08 October 2008
Next steps for European Stakeholders
• Research & Development / RFID Technology Suppliers– Better alignment of publicly and privately funded R&D along
the RFID value chain to shorten time to market• RFID End User Companies and Business Associations
– Participate actively in discussions and cooperate closely with other stakeholder groups
• Standardisation Organisations– Close cooperation between the different Standard
Development Organisations (SDOs), e.g. between ISO and EPCglobal (ISO 18000-6C & EPC Class1 Gen2)
– SDOs shall allow easy and affordable access for SMEs on national and international level
107th CERP Meeting Sophia-Antipolis 08 October 2008
Next steps for European Stakeholders
• Governmental Institutions– Facilitate dialogue among different stakeholders– Follow up the development of technology to ensure an
appropriate regulatory framework– Support the providing of public information addressing
the needs of the different stakeholder groups• Non-Governmental Organisations
– Cooperate closely with other stakeholder groups (especially politics and industry)
– Ensure that urgent topics are discussed and agreed on

CE RFID continues…
• Foundation of a “European RFID network” as a follow-up organisation
• Phase I– Disseminate the results from CE RFID to the community
• Phase II– Be a forum for European RFID users, manufacturers and
solution providers to discuss and agree on current RFID topics– Identify opportunities to improve the European approach
towards RFID– Propose and foster related activities– Kick-off in November 2008
