It's far more than the IT sector, the entire EU economy benefits from open standards.

Why focus on just the IT sector? It's fun, but it's small. Let's bring this into perspective. There rest of the economy, despite being outside the IT sector, is nonetheless fully dependent on software and data standards.

So the corrected statement should be,
"we propose that our European partners adopt the principle of interoperability as regards data processing, to guarantee the development — even, in certain sectors, the survival — of European industry."
