lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, I would first of all like to congratulate the rapporteur on her outstanding work, and on successfully bringing this extremely long process to a close. I fully agree with the elaboration of standards, and even more so with the acceleration of standardisation. However, I would like to note that this process should by no means come at the cost of quality. I therefore think that we should primarily aim to speed up the process in terms of administration; measures in this regard should be implemented jointly by the standardisation bodies and the Commission, while, of course, maintaining a consensus-based approach and publicity. I believe that there is much the Commission can do to further this end, for example, by accelerating the initial and closing work phases, including the signing of contracts, performance certification and the facilitation of payments. I agree with the rapporteur that we can and should build upon the existing system, as it offers several opportunities for development. I agree that the issue of access to standards should not be confined to addressing the prices of standards, and I welcome the fact that we issued a call to the national standardisation bodies. This call concerns the reduction of costs through the application of special rates, for example, by providing bundles of standards at reduced prices. I find the involvement of SMEs and other interest representatives in the standardisation process to be extremely important and worth supporting. As an aside, I would like to point out that there have been no substantial obstacles to their participation in the past. I believe that their passivity is due to other reasons, for example, their very limited financial resources, and I find that sometimes, their special expertise is also lacking. I am therefore of the opinion that when supporting them, we should focus primarily on these areas and aim at finding ways to boost their motivation. All things considered, the rapporteur managed to draft a report that can support European competitiveness, innovation and sustainable development at the same time. In the light of all this, and also on the basis of the rapporteur’s excellent work, I recommend the adoption of the report, and support it myself."@en1
