The own-initiative report that we have voted on today is a fine summary of the various political points of view and contains a number of proposals for improving the standardisation system. This is a very technical and complex subject matter, but standards play a part in our everyday lives. Most of the objects that we use every day conform to very precise standards. From an economic and political point of view, the association of European legislation and standardisation has proved decisive for the free movement of goods and has helped eliminate barriers to free trade within the European single market, through the harmonisation of technical standards. The current system works quite well, but it is in need of some improvements, especially where governance is concerned. I refer in particular to SMEs, which must be able to play an active part in the creation of standards without incurring excessive costs or suffering a lack of representation. During the first half of next year, the European Commission will present the proposal to revise the system. We will continue our work to improve the European technical standardisation process, for the sake of our markets, our businesses and European consumers."@en1
