lpv:translated text	"− The potential of the single market cannot be fully exploited without the support of a modern standardisation system. Thus, completion of the European Standardisation System, which needs to be empowered, has been fundamental to establishing the single market, namely through its ability to respond to the growing need for standards that are capable of ensuring product safety for consumers, ease of access, protection of the environment, or innovation. I believe that European standardisation is an important means of promoting innovation, research and development, thus contributing to the Union’s ability to compete. European framework programmes that support innovation and research and development can be a valid input in the process of standardisation. I also believe that European standardisation contributes to creating a level playing field for all market actors, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises and microenterprises, which are so important to the dynamics of the European economy. I further believe that the Union and the Member States should give greater consideration to the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises when preparing standards, as their participation in the process of standardisation often does not match their weight and importance in the European economy. Therefore, my vote is globally in favour of the proposals in this report."@en1
