"Madam President, there were two specific questions.
On the latter question, from Mr Manders, there is a voluntary agreement between the European Union and industry for harmonisation of chargers, and this will be of very great importance for consumers.
There was another question on service standardisation, and I would like to tell the honourable Member that the regulation reaffirms the possibility for the Union to use service standardisation as a policy tool within harmonised service sectors.
Having said that, I could not agree more with what Mr Harbour said. This is indeed the first of 12 levers to boost growth and strengthen confidence in the Single Market Act adopted by the Commission in April 2011. This is good for industry, for consumers, and for the economy at large, but it is also – and I think many Members have underlined this – an evolution, not a revolution.
So the regulation builds on the main pillars of the current, successful system, and the improvement it brings will provide Europe with a single, transparent and comprehensive instrument which will not only support the implementation of policies here in Europe, but will also help promote the competitiveness of European enterprises throughout the world.
So I hope this House will adopt by a massive majority this very important piece of legislation."@en1
