"My political group, the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, welcomes the result of today’s vote on the Catherine Neris report on harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products.
First-reading approval with the Council was not possible because some of the Member States did not agree to a compulsory statement of conformity. Today’s vote establishes the European Parliament’s position on some politically sensitive issues, particularly the CE mark, which should convince the Council to reach a common position followed by approval from the European Parliament and the Commission at second reading.
My political group, the PPE-DE, in an agreement with the Socialist Party in the European Parliament, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe and the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, has only supported technical improvements to the text and through our additional amendment proposals we have brought the text passed by the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection closer to the working text of the Council. The PPE-DE did not support Amendments 17 and 54 which were passed in committee, because it agreed with the Commission proposal – we are opposed to the introduction of intra-state markings, because they represent a barrier to the internal market and we agree that Member States should eliminate all national references demonstrating conformity other than the CE mark.
I am delighted that this position received clear backing from Commissioner Verheugen in yesterday’s debate. I wish the legislation success."@en1
