"Madam President, normative requirements concerning products, services and processes help to standardise production and to achieve economies of scale. They also improve quality and facilitate the protection of consumer health and safety. However, technological developments are moving faster than the processes for defining standards, which creates market conflicts. When European standards are defined adequately and quickly, and I emphasise the word ‘quickly’, this creates a more civilised single market, reduces the costs of manufacturing and services, facilitates interoperability and consequently boosts competitiveness. It is very important to abolish barriers to the trading of goods and provision of services between Member States, and gives rise to the need for harmonisation. Standardisation is a process where national standardisation bodies must play a part, alongside the European body. Unfortunately, however, the national bodies are largely neglected in the Commission’s proposal, and there are no improved mechanisms which would generate adequate feedback between the EU centre and Member States."@en1
