"Madam President, European standardisation strengthens the competitiveness of the business sector when it is in keeping with the international standardisation system. The standards are an important instrument for business competitiveness, particularly for small and medium sized enterprises, whose participation in the standardisation process is vital for technological progress.
The standardisation rules must encourage SMEs to contribute actively, through innovative technological solutions, to the push towards standardisation by enhancing their participation at the national level where they can be more effective due to lower costs and the absence of linguistic barriers. Granting SMEs effective membership of the European Standards Organisation, including voting rights, will have a positive impact on the involvement and participation of SMEs in standardisation.
The Committee on Industry, Research and Energy requested a distinct pricing system and the application of special rates and a standards package at a reduced price, particularly for SMEs, micro-enterprises and artisan businesses."@en1
