"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to start by thanking the rapporteur, Mrs Pleštinská, for her excellent cooperation – which cannot be faulted – with the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, and the impressive results. I should also like to thank Commissioner Verheugen, however, as he has managed, by way of better regulation, to create a new instrument – namely European standardisation – to enable the objective to be achieved faster and more efficiently.
For example, we are currently addressing the issue of mobile TV: the problem of Nokia versus LG standardisation. European standards should be created for this as quickly as possible to enable us to take the lead in the global market. Another example is the allocation of frequencies in the linear-digital field. If carried out quickly, efficiently and well, standardisation offers prospects of gaining market shares in this field. A further example is mobile-telephone chargers: here, too, there is a lack of standardisation. The need for action on this is tremendous, and dramatic progress could be achieved by means of economies of scale.
For this reason, I am also pleased that particular attention is being paid to small and medium-sized enterprises, and I believe that the next thing we need is a Green Paper on standardisation. This would enable our economy to achieve the Lisbon criteria significantly faster and more efficiently by means of standardisation that is accepted worldwide – one of the best examples of this being the GSM system. A Green Paper in this field could give us the opportunity of demonstrating where our future opportunities lie. This represents a challenge. Parliament is already pleased to note that its cooperation with the Commission on this is as constructive as ever."@en1
