"Madam President, our single market is meant to make it easier to trade across the 28 countries of 500 million consumers, and sometimes we do not need a one-size-fits all approach – but sometimes we do. Tonight we have been talking about keeping people safe from gas boilers so that they do not die from carbon monoxide problems, fall off a chairlift when it collapses or die or become injured because of personal protective equipment. Rules that we have had in Europe for 25 years have now been simplified, modernised and clarified.
By being at the table involved in the detail, we have negotiated a better position. On my own report I tabled 146 amendments to the Commission proposal. 117 of those are in the final legislation, including a new procedure to make it easier for small companies. We have made it less bureaucratic whilst maintaining safety, and done in a manner that should not increase costs for consumers or manufacturers. I hope this will make it easier to trade.
My colleague from UKIP said she did not understand why we need this legislation. She has not talked in a single debate or tabled a single amendment. When it comes to making the rules by which our businesses and consumers trade, I would rather be at the table negotiating a deal, because in Europe, if we are not at the table, we risk being on the menu."@en1
