lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I will keep this short and concentrate on what is important. Standards are an important and proven tool. They facilitate a common technical language, a common technical basis within Europe’s internal market, and they are a useful tool for promoting innovation and sustainable development. The European approach has proven itself and, in times of economic crises, existing tools should be carefully modernised without jeopardising their substance. We have succeeded in doing that with standardisation. We have bolstered the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises and important social groups, and thus improved the acceptance of standardisation, but without jeopardising its structure, which is based on the voluntary cooperation of the business sector, which also bears the main part of the costs. I take the view that the participation rights of small and medium-sized enterprises, consumer and environmental associations and the trade unions could have been even greater, but I accept the compromise in this area. We have extended standardisation to the services sector. Industry-oriented services and the IT sector, in particular, represent a significant area for standardisation. At the same time, however, it was important not to jeopardise the professions, and their creative potential. Standardisation is also a cost factor in industries such as the craft industries. Standardisation should therefore only be rolled out where there is actually market relevance in it. A multi-stakeholder platform will ensure this, and will ensure that the relevant consultations take place. Last, but not least, we thought it important that a clear separation should be maintained between standardisation and legislation. The signal from Parliament is clear: we do not want legislation by the back door. All in all, we have achieved a good compromise, and our group will be giving it our backing in the vote tomorrow."@en1
