"Madam President, I apologise for running a little late. I had some traffic problems and I had to drive a couple of hundred kilometres to get here to Brussels. Unfortunately, as yet, we have no European standard for traffic. I would very much like to thank Ms Comi for her cooperation. As Mr Harbour said, cooperation was excellent.
I believe that standardisation is good for industry, for our economy and, ultimately, for the consumer. As Europe, we are in a better position to establish a world standard, which will make this continent really count as an economic power in the world. Therefore, it is good that we are making standardisation easier with this directive.
It is clear that this will be on a voluntary basis and that it can work. Indeed, a few years ago, together with Commissioner Verheugen, I set up a plan to standardise the plugs for phone chargers and, in 2014, the plugs for iPad chargers. In general, this standard will make it easier for industry to bring new products to market and it will also create a lot of consumer satisfaction. Once again, Ms Comi, thank you for your hard work."@en1
