"I voted in favour of the regulation, which improves the use of technical standards in the services and telecommunications sectors.
This new regulation will provide European businesses with more immediate access to standard solutions to technical problems, which will cut manufacturing costs, facilitating the spread of best practices and increasing competitiveness. The new regulation, which aims to modernise the so-called process of ‘standardisation’, simplifies the whole system in terms of administration and finance, providing a high level of transparency.
I think the biggest success concerns ensuring the participation of small businesses and consumer representatives, environmental organisations and civil society, which will be consulted throughout the standards development process. This is a very important point, as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), owing both to their small size and to language problems, struggle to play an active part in the system, even though they are, in fact, the economic base of our European system.
Moreover, this new legislation makes European standards even more compatible with international ones, thus improving the global competitiveness of EU businesses."@en1
