"I voted in favour of the regulation aiming to modernise the European standardisation process by simplifying the current system at an administrative and financial level, while guaranteeing a high level of transparency. The report aims, in particular, to improve the use of standards in the services sector and in the information and communication technology sector. Thanks to these new measures, European businesses will be able to obtain standard solutions to technical problems more quickly, which will allow them to reduce their production costs. These measures will also allow for enhanced compatibility with the international standardisation system. This report will thus contribute to improving the competitiveness of European businesses and to stimulating growth. The Commission has estimated that standards have an impact on the growth of the EU amounting to more than EUR 35 billion per year. During the course of the discussions, I paid particular attention to the involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the development of standards, as well as the involvement of consumers – particularly vulnerable ones – in order to ensure that the opinion of end users is taken into account and the products are responsive to their needs. The final text seems to me to be sufficiently balanced, and I support it. The regulation will enter into force at the start of 2013."@en1
