"Madam President, as the Chair of the committee, I want to congratulate all the Members of the committee who worked so hard to achieve what I think is an outstanding result, a real improvement to a crucial piece of the single market. It is worth recording tonight – and I am sure the Commissioner would want to mark this – that this is actually the first piece of the major legislative commitments in the Single Market Act that has been put through, and we vote on it tomorrow.
I also want to record the fact – given the importance of this whole topic and the intense interest among the thousands of people around the European Union who are engaged in the standardisation process – that we took a decision with the wisdom of all the coordinators involved to do an important preparatory piece of work on this, which was led by my colleague, Mr Kožušník, who spoke earlier. We drew up a strategic report on standards some 18 months ago, which shaped our view on the topic, and enabled us to consult before we got the legislation before us.
I think that has really contributed to the quality of the work, and it is something that I know many of the other committees are looking at. I am delighted that my colleagues from the Committee on International Trade and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety are here this evening, which I am sure reflects the importance and interest that they attach to the whole of this standardisation dossier.
I am sure that tomorrow, this proposal will have the major confidence of the whole House, but it is a reflection of the real importance of this subject that so many of the political groups and Members have been engaged in getting an excellent result."@en1
