"I believe that the compromise reached between the Council and Parliament, after more than a year of negotiations, is a decisive step forward towards a more balanced and effective European system of standardisation that corresponds to the real needs of European enterprises.
The impact caused by the new regulation can only be fully understood if we consider that standards are an instrument for the competitiveness of all enterprises and, in particular, for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which, by using them, can obtain conformity and safety certificates for products and services quicker and at less cost.
In particular, I welcome two aspects of the new proposal: the creation of a new notification system through which European enterprises will be informed in advance when the Commission intends to submit standards, and the extension of the scope of the regulation in question to standards concerning all services, which account for more than 70% of EU GDP.
Another positive element is the fact that the new legislation will oblige Member States to facilitate the participation of SMEs in standardisation committees and their access to standards."@en1
