Alpha77 writes "Today, the Dutch parliament has agreed to a plan that aims to implement support for open standards in national and local government organisations. The plan (in Dutch) lists a number of actions that will be taken. Support for ODF is mandatory for the national government by April 2008, other government organisations must comply by December 2008, but other existing formats are still allowed too.
