lpv:translated text	"This standardisation process was the first of 12 measures launched by the Commissioner for the Internal Market and Services, Michel Barnier, as part of his strategy for relaunching the single market. I consider European standardisation a prerequisite for the smooth running of any European market that aims to be single. A single market that is transparent and uniform as regards rules and the standardisation of the products sold therein was one of the main objectives of the EU’s founding countries, when they created the European Coal and Steel Community and then the European Economic Community. For too long, we have had British, German French, Spanish, Italian or Swedish standards for industrial products, for example, competing with each other and – surprisingly – with the very European standards created for the entire EU. It is also surprising that, within a ‘single market’, the imperial system coexists with the metric system. I therefore favour any legislative initiative that leads to the creation of common market rules. That is the only way that we will move towards the intended Union of peoples and states, without any form of barrier, technical or otherwise."@en1
