"‘EU unity in diversity’ is a compromise which brings benefits, but also creates numerous obstacles to the same degree. This is why the public and economic sectors, in addition to the players who defend the interests of civil society, need to standardise services in order to make things operate more efficiently. European companies need to improve their ability to adapt to a changing global economy.
Standardisation can provide proper support, especially for SMEs. This is why they need to be taken into account when drawing up standardisation criteria. The low level of interest shown by public authorities in participating in the process of devising European standards causes delays and helps maintain the disparities between the EU’s regions.
In the area of public procurement, harmonising procedures is a priority and, in this regard, digitisation plays an important role. I think it is a priority to get the social players involved in establishing the standardisation criteria.
Creating the common framework supporting workers’ safety and rights, people with disabilities and measures aimed at increasing sustainability helps improve social standards in the EU.
I support this report because I think that the standardisation process is vital for attracting investment from third countries. Potential investors are not very keen on the European markets’ diversity and the lack of links between them."@en1
