"The concept of European standardisation implies cooperation between industry, the public authorities and other stakeholders. This report argues that standardisation ‘helps to boost the competitiveness of enterprises by facilitating, in particular, the free movement of goods and services’ and increases ‘competition and lower output and sales costs’. These standards and EU standardisation are used as political instruments that guarantee the flow and operation of the single market, promoting free competition and, thereby, deepening divergences between countries. We are also concerned about the intention of developing European standards in the service sector, as provided for in the Services Directive, which the report states ‘should generate further harmonisation in the services sector, increase the transparency, quality and competitiveness of European services’. On the contrary, the liberalisation and privatisation of services will have negative consequences for the peoples of the Member States, particularly those with weaker social and economic situations, such as Portugal."@en1
