Expanded perspectives

ETSI’s standardization work – including early-stage addressing European policy and regulatory requirements
research and related pre-standardization activities – is in areas including data interoperability and governance,
conducted in our 51 Technical Groups. Participation in TC DATA also engages with other regulatory bodies to
