"Mr President, from the outset, I have personally supported the original Commission proposal to repeal all eight directives without compensation. I believe that the Commission proposal was a prime example of the right way to simplify European law and promote the approach of ‘better regulation’. We should not push for harmonisation in all areas at any price. We should think about other regulatory instruments than just EU regulations, such as international standards, for example. We should also deploy these alternative regulatory instruments in cases where they would be more effective. With the introduction of regulations in the area of metrology, I would prefer a voluntary system of mutual recognition of national regulations, based on international standards, rather than a top-down centralised harmonisation. I am sorry that Parliament, along with certain Member States, does not support this exceptional and liberal approach of the Commission, preferring instead a conservative approach to eliminating excessive regulation.
Despite everything, however, I would like to thank the rapporteur very much for the effort she has devoted to finding a common compromise solution. I applaud her personal enthusiasm, thanks to which the Commission proposal did not disappear from view, and part of the original intention at least has come through."@en1
