lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to begin by congratulating the rapporteur, Ms Comi, on the excellent work that she has done in relation to this report, which is vitally important for the future of Europe. In this world, and in a society that is undergoing rapid transformation, Europe needs a comprehensive, integrating, effective and up-to-date system of standardisation. This system should ensure the correct functioning of the internal market and improve the protection of consumers and their lives. It is also essential to protect the environment. In addition, more innovation and social inclusion is very important, as is interaction and communication between networks and systems, in particular, in the area of new information and communication technologies, as has already been stressed. As Professor Monti states in his report entitled ‘A new strategy for the single market’, European standardisation is essential for the governance of the internal market, with emphasis on the need to revise the European standardisation process, maintaining the advantages of the current system and finding the right balance between the European and national dimensions. In view of this, the report that we are discussing here today supports and defends these objectives, which are right and appropriate: to put an end to the slowness and fragmentation that currently exists and which leads to companies incurring transaction costs and higher unit costs; to strengthen the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in standardisation activities, in particular, at national level, as well as facilitating their access to those standards, while also strengthening the participation of parties that represent the interests of society, such as consumers, environmental groups, workers and people with disabilities, while maintaining financial support for European organisations that have been established to represent public interests. I would like to finish by saying that the adoption of this report will contribute to the revival of the European project, to European innovation, and to the strengthening and competitiveness of our companies."@en1
